Young children
Here's what readers have to say about this book....
What a fabulous, innovative and original collection of poems by Andrea Prior. A talented poet, with a quirky, witty and unique edge. I have read these poems time and again to my 4 year old and with my niece and nephew who are 10 and 8 and they loved them, from 'Silly Dirty Monkey' to 'Cecilia's Mother', there's something for everyone. Andrea's hand drawn illustrations are truly fantastic, they compliment the text beautifully. We look forward to the next one!
I bought this for my friend and her 5 yr-old daughter and not only did the mother delight in reading out loud the hilarious and quirky rhymes, but her daughter chuckled continuously and insisted her mum read each one at least twice as her eyes got ever bigger looking at the marvellous and colourful illustrations. Encouraging children to participate with the meaning and words at the end of each poem works brilliantly - it gets them thinking and feeling they're part of each and every hilarious little story. Great fun!
