I’m Just No Good At Rhyming and other nonsense
This is a truly funny book that plays with words and rhymes and makes silly puns that will make you laugh and want to make up your own. For all children and immature adults – or those who need a reminder of how to be silly. (A vital life skill).
Llama Llama Red Pajama
Llama is waiting for his mama, who has tucked him in to bed then gone to fetch him a glass of water. When she doesn’t come back quickly, he starts to worry and fuss, eventually hollering for her as he gets cross. Such a familiar scenario – the perfect rhyming bedtime read.
Poems to Perform
Poetry gets a rough deal with most children. Being forced to learn a long poem can take the joy of the rhyming words away. Wouldn’t it be great if children thought poetry was fun? A vibrant collection of poems perfect to be performed. Selected by Julia Donaldson, author of The Gruffalo. Ideal for teachers, parents, children: anyone who loves great poetry.
