Itzy Bitzy House
Illustrated by Arthur Robins
'By an itzy bitzy house down a twisty turny lane, A twitchy witchy mouse Is sitting in the rain.' These alliterative stanzas Set the soggy scene For a damp concatenation - The best there's ever been? Mouse, cat, dog and billy goat What a sorry, soggy sight. When comes a flash of lightning Then, another chink of light. A creaky door's flung open And a brodlly there appears, Beneath it stands a bearded gent Whose words allay their fears. A super dooper picture book By a skilful, clever pair With lots of language lessons Just waiting for us there. Those 3Rs - rhyme and rhythm And repetition too; Plus onomatopoeia Such fun for me and you.
