Blow a kiss, catch a kiss when we are apart. Blow a kiss, catch a kiss put it in your heart.

Our Review Panel says...

A beautifully illustrated anthology of short poems for little children. The poems cover a diverse range of topics relatable to preschoolers, including nature, family life, favourite foods and playing games. The poems are designed to engage and encourage children to participate through repeated phrases and counting sections or by prompting actions (‘Nose Boogie’ will become a quick favourite in the classroom!).

Many will prompt discussion or invite the fun of improvising further verses. For example, the poem ‘Weather’, which is a play on the well-known song The Sun Has Got His Hat On, will naturally lead on to children continuing the pattern of the stanzas starting The Wind Has Got His Scarf On, The Rain Has Got Her Boots on, The Snow Has Got Her Gloves on and so on.

This is a really lovely preschool poetry collection that encourages children and adults alike to relish the sheer fun of language and rhyme.
