Review
Sweeter and emotionally safer verse for the very young comes from the prolific British writer and illustrator Shirley Hughes. "Out and About: A First Book of Poems" is full of breezes and sunshine.
--The Wall Street Journal
--Washington Parent Hughes's pen-and-watercolor illustrations, the stars of this show, are deliciously full of motion...her approach is gentle, humorous, old-fashioned, full of human character.
--The Boston Globe Young readers and listeners will be able to relate to these outings. Cadence, meter, and rhyme long to be read aloud.
