Under 5s Pre-School/Nursery/Infant
Gloriously wicked drawings are counterbalanced by witty and idiosyncratic poetry in this compilation edition. The beauty of this book is in the marrying of two fine talents, for the end result works at all levels. Infants revel in the extravagant language and zany illustrations and adults are charmed by the flow of Yeoman's poetry and Blake's unbelievable mastery of line.
