The book was published by Heinemann (the paperback version is now available) and the animated film will be shown on TV at Christmas - all details are given at the foot of Peter Collington's delightful double-page spread. We thank Heinemann for their help in using this illustration.
Steel Drums and other Stories and Poems from Around the World
Illustrated by Valerie McBride
This book already falls open in favourite places, almost begging to be read in poetry sessions. Ann Marie Linden opens our eyes wide with wonder at the world we live in. crinkles them up in humour and makes us bounce with delight as we share her sheer joie de vivre. Her special appeal is to younger children. What infant could resist the notion of doing a tango with Miss Mango?
