Reviews / Votes
"The main messages children will pick up here are: that language is fun; and that if you give full rein to your imagination, anything can happen ...If like me, you believe that nursery rhymes should form the bedrock upon which a child can build a love of poetry, then this beautifully produced book may be of interest." * Red Reading Hub *

Tracey Tucker lives in a small fishing village by the sea. How she came to be there is a long
and winding tale, but it's the perfect spot for an artist and she feels inspired living there. It's like living in one of the books that she illustrates.
