The award-winning team behind A Great Big Cuddle—two former UK Children’s Laureates—reunite to present a collection of nursery rhymes both familiar and rediscovered.Honey for breakfast,Honey for tea.Honey for YOU,Honey for ME.Welcome to the vibrant world of nursery rhymes—from beloved playground sayings to forgotten gems. Collected by preeminent children’s author Michael Rosen, these lilting poems, more than thirty in all, are brought to life in playful illustrations by award-winning artist Chris Riddell. Perfect for reading aloud and sure to become an instant favorite, this selection of nursery poems, created by two former UK Children’s Laureates, is a delightful keepsake for families to share and treasure.
Warmhearted, unfussy presentations by Riddell (Pirate Stew) feature lots of gallivanting animals (anthropomorphized and otherwise) and an inclusive cast of children in settings that range from white space to landscapes to sunny domestic interiors…in terms of foundational texts for youngest children, this one should elicit as many smiles as “honey for breakfast, honey for tea.”—Publishers WeeklyThis is not your average book of nursery rhymes. This illustrated collection consists of verses sourced from historical anthologies and therefore contains poems that many Americans have most likely never encountered before.. a thoughtfully curated and entertaining read for devotees of English and Anglo-American children’s verse or for adults looking to expose their children to nursery rhymes they may not otherwise hear. An unusual, lively collection of nursery rhymes sourced from historic texts.—Kirkus Reviews
