Pippa loves staying with her Aunty Peggy. She loves going for
walks, whether it's sunshiney or cold - long, wandering walks where
her wellies take her. Follow Pippa into the beautiful countryside
as her day unfolds, and the wildlife, animals and people she
encounters are complemented by relevant poems from some of our
greatest authors. Part poetry anthology, part child's scrapbook,
this is a truly lavish project designed to instil a love of
language in young children.
Packed full of stupendously silly, fantastically funny and hysterically hilarious poems, this brilliant anthology is edited by exciting young poet, Joshua Seigal. Featuring a diverse range of contributors and some brand new poems from Joshua himself, this book is perfect for anyone who needs a giggle or a belly laugh!
Joshua's first book, I Don't Like Poetry was shortlisted for the 2017 Laugh Out Loud Awards (the UK's only prize for funny children's books) and this book is a marvellous mixture of his subversive humour and insight into the world of children.
