The tuneful, witty and warm poems that form this collection are perfect for reading aloud and joining in with. Assisted by Patel-Sage’s exuberant illustrations, Goodfellow’s poetry opens up a range of imaginative possibilities: the power of poetry to capture and reflect a child’s everyday experiences, from splashing in the sea to stroking a “furry, purry cat”; how to use poetry to express one’s personal thoughts, feeling and emotions; and how to really play with and get involved with the inner workings of language. A shining example of what poetry is and could be for young children.
