Book Synopsis

My pancake is a CANcake,

there’s nothing it can’t do

and it really is delicious.

Shall I fix one up for you?

Does T-Rex like a tickle? Do mercats chase mermice under the sea? Would you carry a frog in your hat? Play ping-pong with peas? Or how about finding a tree that grows doughnuts – and then eating blue jelly and strawberries?

This is a joyful and exuberant debut collection of poems for younger children. Full of fun, puzzles and wordplay, with shape poems and nonsense poems – and also including quiet, thoughtful moments.

Packed with delightful illustrations this book is perfect for reading aloud or alone, at home or at school.

Our Review Panel says...

‘Blue Jelly and Strawberries’ is as delightful as the title suggests. This is a joyful poetry book brimming with short, easy-to-read poems, which are to be enjoyed by anyone aged 3 to 103!

These short poems are best enjoyed when read aloud, as there are many with rhyming couplets (to be read with a rhythm), onomatopoeias (enjoy moo-ing and neigh-ing) and riddles which will leave little ones howling in laughter.

This is a perfect poetry book to bring love and joy to reading. I would recommend this as a first poetry book to promote how poetry can be fun among younger readers.
