Full of action and alliteration, the poems will be fun to read aloud...children will probably thoroughly enjoy shouting the refrain at Humpty Dumpty: 'So get down off that wall before you fall, you Silly Egg!'...this will be a useful addition to the poetry shelf, or could just be added to the kinderbox, for pre-school and infant children.
