The first time I read this book to Smallest I was amused when the other two drew near and listened from behind me. It seemed appropriate given the title 😉
This isn’t a story book – it’s a set of short and slightly noisy poems. Not a book to be read quietly either, this is one that calls for silly voices and shouting as you chant your way through. The illustrations are classic Blake, with loads going on to look at too, though of course that will depend on the patience level of your audience. I’m guessing that this is one that we will be reading so many times that we’ll memorise it, like other favourites of the past.
The boring small print…If you don’t want to miss out on any of the news on the challenge, please sign up to my rss feed – there’s an email link over in the side, or you can sub with a reader. I’m also on twitterusing the hashtag #100books and facebook.
If you want to donate, please feel free, there’s a link in the sidebar or you can use this one. If you’d like to join in with your own version of the challenge, please leave me a comment to let me know so that I can link to you. And also, the booklink above is an affiliate link, but it’s set up with its own tracking id, so anything bought via a 100 book challenge link is separate to those usually on my blog, and I’ll be donating that money through to Oxfam as well.
