- Synopsis
- Twelve amusing poems by the &“queen of Dutch children&’s literature,&” paired with charming illustrations of reindeer houseguests, mischievous little girls, ever-singing tea kettles, and more.This delightful poetry collection offers children and the young at heart a refreshing, inventive look at the world from the well-known Dutch author Annie Schmidt. The rollicking poems tell the stories of such intriguing characters as Aunt Sue and Uncle Steve who nest up in a tree, animated furniture that comes to life when no one is home, and three elderly otters who long to go boating but find themselves biking instead!Much like the work of Shel Silverstein or Jack Prelutsky, Annie M.G. Schmidt&’s poetry can transform ordinary events and places into extraordinary adventures full of imagination. Accompanying the poems is bold and expressive artwork that makes this book too charming to resist.
