a delicious treat of a book … a treasure of an anthology … filled with captivating illustrations in bold striking colours to help a little person’s imagination really lift off whether they are at reading or picture looking stage … Useful for the younger classroom, where infants would enjoy the unusual verses. The rhymes and tongue twisters would appeal to middle ages and the bright illustrations would make a great stimulus in senior art lessons. Reviewed by Orla Faulkner, Drogheda, Co Louth
