Jumping poems
These are illustrated versions of traditional rhymes. Full of repetition and rhythm, they are easy to read and the pictures add a whimsical flavour which adds to the enjoyment of the whole text.
Tiny Tim
This is a re-telling of a traditional poem which has been through several iterations since the Victorian era. Simple and rhythmical, it allows children to read with ease and also makes an excellent rhyme for them to learn off by heart. The illustrations will make them laugh!
