A beautifully illustrated anthology of Wendy Cope's poems, this collection includes well-loved classics such as "Summer Toes" and "Into the Bathtub" as well of lots of brand new, fabulous poems, which take us on a wonderful journey full of little adventures that will resonate with children everywhere. Turquoise/Band 7 books offer literary language and extended descriptions, with longer sentences and a wide range of unfamiliar terms. Text type: A poetry book. A map on pages 22 and 23 encourages children to trace the journey the anthology takes, recounting the poems as they go. Curriculum links: Citizenship: Taking part - developing skills of communication and participation; Art and Design: Portraying relationships; Music: Play it again - exploring rhythmic patterns
