About this title:

Synopsis: The internationally acclaimed Shirley Hughes offers a treasury of seasonal poems that evoke the day-to-day experiences of the very young.

In this joyous collection of poems, Katie and her little brother, Olly, are ready for whatever each day offers--sunshine, wind, rain, mist, or snow. From the happy sights and sounds of the beach to the quiet beauty of leaves in a rain puddle, this exuberant volume captures to perfection the everyday wonder of being out and about.

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

This first book of poems is perfect for reading aloud and for a search through the pictures for lively kids, dogs, squirrels and birds.
--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.
--School library Connection
