There’s a Goat in my Coat

by

Rosemary Milne

Illustrated by Andrew McLean

Children wriggle, hop, dance, shake and play in this book of original rhymes for the very young. Humpty Dumpty refuses to get down from the wall, slippers slip and socks run away. Animals perform balancing acts, throw coconuts and get their hair cut.


As well as inviting children to join in with a wide range of fun physical activities these rhymes introduce rhythm, alliteration and assonance, counting, patterns, opposites and prepositions.


Ideal for the classroom, young children will enjoy practising and repeating the sounds and making up their own. The illustrations are full of life and movement and complement the verses delightfully.
