Description & Specifications

An exciting debut poetry collection for younger children from a popular performance poet

My pancake is a CANcake,

there's nothing it can't do

and it really is delicious.

Shall I fix one up for you?

Does T-Rex like a tickle? Do mercats chase mermice under the sea? Would you carry a frog in your hat? Play ping-pong with peas? Or how about finding a tree that grows doughnuts - and then eating blue jelly and strawberries?

This is a joyful and exuberant debut collection of poems for younger children. Full of fun, puzzles and wordplay, with shape poems and nonsense poems - and also including quiet, thoughtful moments.

Packed with delightful illustrations this book is perfect for reading aloud or alone, at home or at school.
