A favourite from my childhood...
I still remember the poems and how fun they were to recite. My mum used to play the tape for me when I wasn’t well as a child and it would help me sleep at night - so want to be able to do the same for my daughter.

Please Mrs Butler
I bought this book to replace two very dog-eared copies - one min, one my late husband's. It is a brilliant book of poetry for children, and I used it regularly in my years as a teacher. The book arrived very quickly and in perfect condition. I am delighted with both the product and the service. Thank you!
