Everybody was a Baby Once and Other Poems

A delightful new collection of nineteen poems, ranging from limerick to parody, from the author of the classic Please Mrs Butler, with Ingram's full spread illustrations an important integral part of the whole.

This time their focus is on life as a toddler, appealing to that age group, to Key Stage 1, and to adults who remember their childhood!

There is great humour in the verses, catchy rhythms, alliteration, repetition and wordplay - all inviting the young audience to join in and learn the poems. A more serious touch is voiced by long-forgotten dolls, mourning happier days.

Length of poem and size of print are varied to include the youngest readers, while each spread offers extra scope for discussion and storytelling.
