Cat’s list poem

This uses very simple rhyming couplets in the context of a list poem to create a text with which all children, even those at the very start of their reading journey, can engage.  The illustrations make the book one to which children will want to return repeatedly.

This is a simple version of the traditional chant. It has humorous illustrations which help children read the text.  The rhymes and near rhymes will encourage children to invent their own versions.
