Michael Rosen is the best-selling and popular author of We’re Going on a Bear Hunt, Michael Rosen’s Sad Book, Tiny Little Fly, Bananas in My Ears, and many other books and poetry collections for children. A former British Children’s Laureate, Michael Rosen lives in London. Chris Riddell’s glorious illustrations fill the pages of many wonderful books for children, including Richard Platt’s Castle Diary and Jonathan Swift’s Gulliver, retold by Martin Jenkins. He lives in England.
Riddell's fluid watercolor-and-pencil illustrations bring a grace to each poem, no matter what its subject, and he depicts many ethnicities of children...Despite (or perhaps because of) the odd bits, this book successfully celebrates the private, gleeful, imaginative world of toddlers. Kirkus Reviews Nonsense words and jaunty rhymes pack the oversize pages of this beautifully illustrated collection of poems...Preschoolers probably won t sit still for the entire collection at once, but individual selections are likely to get them moving to the lively beat.
