Out and About: A First Book of Poems

Author: Shirley Hughes
Illustrator: Shirley Hughes
Publisher: Walker

In this book of poetry the seasons are seen from a child’s eye view. Each section opens with a glorious double page spread showing families engaged in a range of seasonally specific activities such as playing on the sand in summer and sledging and snowballing in winter. The language of the poems is simple yet evocative and each is given its own page where it is complemented by illustrations of children enjoying life and nature.
