Ideal for use in Foundation Stage and Key Stage 1, these simple poems get to the heart of childhood emotional experience. They are hugely entertaining in their own right, wonderfully supplemented by the witty and humourous illustrations, thus making them ideal for literacy work. They also make a great starting point for discussion about feelings and behaviour. No Early Years setting should be without this valuable book.

In the hands of a skilful teacher, these books will make useful additions to the staff book collection, providing for the 'preachy' side of Circle Time or occasionally for PSHE.
