"Perfectly Peculiar Pets" by Elli Woollard and Anja Boretzki (Bloomsbury)
In "Perfectly Peculiar Pets" by Elli and Anja Boretzki, find poems on all manner of subjects from the scaly to the fuzzy, the stripy to the multi-coloured. From animals to birds, fish and some distinctly strange species indeed, Elli tickles our funny bones with a selection of perfect poems for little ones to enjoy.
Just about every animal and bird gets a look in from awesome armadillos, fidgety flamingos and umbrella birds to crazy quokkas and irritable iguanas.
Packed with Anja's quirky black-and-white illustrations, it's a divine collection of awesome verse that reminded us of other brilliant children's poets from Spike Milligan to Colin West.
They're also tons and tons of fun to read aloud so get to it!
Sum this book up in a sentence: A truly brilliant treat for the ears, pitch perfect poems and rhymes by a wordsmith par excellence!
"Perfectly Peculiar Pets" by Elli Woollard and Anja Boretzki is out now, published by Bloomsbury (kindly supplied for review).
