I really loved this book. It is a collection of lots of different types of poems. My favourite poem was Yumtime which was about eating. I would certainly recommend this book to other young children.

Didn't realise it was a poetry book until the second page! Some great ones, we enjoyed taking turns memorising or reading them stood on a chair to put on a show for each other during the lockdown!
