My pancake is a CANcake,
there's nothing it can't do
and it really is delicious.
Shall I fix one up for you?
Does T-Rex like a tickle? Do mercats chase mermice under the sea? Would you carry a frog in your hat? Play ping-pong with peas? Or how about finding a tree that grows doughnuts - and then eating blue jelly and strawberries?
This is a joyful and exuberant debut collection of poems for younger children. Full of fun, puzzles and wordplay, with shape poems and nonsense poems - and also including quiet, thoughtful moments.
Packed with delightful illustrations this book is perfect for reading aloud or alone, at home or at school.
