Giggly times, giggly rhymes 3 by Richie Cotton
Illus: Naya and Kostya Lazareva. Little Steps Publishing, 2018.
ISBN: 9781925545968.
Themes: Poetry, Rhyme. Amusing poems about smelly things, animals
and impossible things are presented with light and breezy
illustrations with a quirky quality in this short anthology. The
thirteen poems are written in simple rhyming couplets and are never
longer than eight lines of text. Without setting the world on fire,
it is a simple example of a poetry anthology.
This is probably not the best or most inspiring example of
child-friendly doggerel, but some may find it an appealing faster
alternative for pre-bedtime reading compared to a longer narrative!
