  'Whizz, bang, orang-utan Hear his mighty roar As he stamps and as he stomps On the jungle floor.' John Foster Here is a collection of poems and rhymes for very young children. With themes ranging from funfairs, giants, and favourite foods, to seaside holidays, days in the park, and wobbly teeth, there are poems for every occasion. And the mix of traditional rhymes, limericks, lullabies, and comic verse adds up to an anthology to suit all moods and moments. There are contributions from Shirley Hughes, Quentin Blake, June Crebbin, Spike Milligan, and many, many more. Each poem is accompanied by full colour artwork-from a diverse range of illustrators including Tony Ross, Sue Heap, Lindsey Gardiner, and Stephen Lambert.

  This is an exhilarating, brightly colored book of poems for very young children, intended to be a companion book to the very popular Twinkle, Twinkle, Chocolate Bar . It is designed as a read-aloud book and one that children will enjoy reading for themselves once they have mastered the initial skills of reading. There are poems about eating, making a mess, going out, playtime, bath time, and going to bed, as well as poems about giants, monsters, pets, curious people, witches and wizards, teeth, and birthdays. It is illustrated by a group of very talented young artists, five of whom have never been published before.
