### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly Recommended
*by D***J on 4 August 2020*

I stumbled upon this book quite by accident. While I trying to look for a book to introduce poetry to my 4.5 year old. It covers various themes, animals, night-time, meal-time, family etc and is a mix of known poets like R L Stevenson to the obscure 'anon'. With the humour and silly nonsensical poems, the book is a perfect first introduction to poetry. Beautifully illustrated, this book is a favourite. Mine as much as the kiddos :)
