SONGS AND VERSE has seven sections bursting with rhymes about monsters, magical creatures, gruesome children, ghastly adults as well as a few unusual surprises.

With a foreword and opening illustrations by Quentin Blake, and illustrations throughout from other award-winning artists such as Babette Cole, Lauren Child, Chris Riddell, Alel Scheffler and Tony Ross, you will find a touch of magic on every page.

In 1838 het die komponis Robert Schumann ’n klavierwerk van 13 nommers genaamd Kinderszenen (Kindertonele) geskryf, waarvoor hy later aparte titels gegee het nadat sy vrou, Clara, vir hom gese het dat hy self soms soos ’n kind is. Hierdie musiekstukke is dan ook oor die gebeurlikhede en daaglikse ervaringe van ’n kind en ook sy verhouding met sy ouers. Philip de Vos is deur beide Robert Schumann se musiek en die titels geinspireer om versies van sy eie te maak.

"Highly recommended. I think it will make children wriggle with delight" - Stephen Fry If I ever find myself holding a gecko . . . I'll lecko. Forget what you think you know about poetry - this is something totally different. Chris Harris' I'm Just No Good At Rhyming combines wit, wordplay and nonsense with visual and verbal tricks to make you look at the world in a new and wonderfully upside-down way, reminiscent of Spike Milligan. I'm just no good at rhyming. It makes me feel so bad. I'm just no good at rhyming, And that's why I'm so blue. This entirely unique collection of wildly witty words offers a surprise around every corner, from the ongoing rivalry between the author and illustrator (mean poem and cruel portrait included), to the mysteriously misnumbered pages that can only be deciphered by a certain code-cracking verse, to a poem that is 100% genuinely infinite. Meet a balding werewolf, competitive boulders, a birthday piranha, and find out if grown-ups really are better! Why are grown-ups better than kids? 'Cause we got what it takes - We never, ever, ever, ever, ever, make mistaeks! Adding to the fun: Lane Smith, winner of the CILIP Kate Greenaway Medal for There Is a Tribe of Kids, has spectacularly illustrated this extraordinary collection with nearly one hundred pieces of appropriately absurd art. It's a mischievous match made in heaven and the perfect gift for creative kids or immature grown-ups.

Illustrated by the winner of the CILIP Kate Greenaway Medal 2017, Lane Smith, and chosen as one the New York Times Best Illustrated Books 2018. Two children come across an abandoned house deep in the woods and imagine who could have lived there. Deep in the woods is a house just a house that once was but now isn't a home. A House That Once Was is a beautifully illustrated exploration of time, imagination and the nature of home that is sure to provoke discussion. Lane's artwork is a riot of colour and rich texture that perfectly matches the poetic text written by the New York Times-bestselling author, Julie Fogliano. This evocative, rhyming story is perfect for reading out loud.

'The Poetry Bug Strikes Again' is the much awaited follow up to the 'The Poetry Bug'. The poems enable children to dream the world through different eyes. It gives a voice to how they feel about themselves, their loved ones and the exciting, confusing and scary world in which they find themselves. 'The Poetry Bug Strikes Again' is, above all, playful. It recognises that we are all explorers and that word play, self expression and humour can be means by which this exploration can take place. This book recognises humanity's eternal quest to understand ourselves, others and our world. In a world of conformity it enables us to identify and celebrate diversity, in bite size, age appropriate chunks.
