Review
Fans of Colin McNaughton's picture books about the irrepressible Preston the Pig-- (Boo!, Goal and Suddenly)--will not be disappointed by his latest foray into poetry, Wish You Were Here (And I Wasn't). As with his picture books McNaughton's clever word play and expressive illustrations provide young children with a book to return to time and time again.
Who can resist rhymes such as:
A Flight of Fancy I planted a packet of birdseed In a line as straight as an arrow. I didn't get much in the way of a crop, Just a parrot, two ducks and a sparrow.Perfect for reading aloud or for young readers to read for themselves, this collection of 50 rhymes--some long, some short--is imaginative and full of fun. Accompanied by the author's colourful illustrations Wish You Were Here (And I Wasn't) will amuse and delight children of all ages. (Ages 3 and over). --Mary Jarrard
