The poems in A Great Big Cuddle fizz off the page with sound and rhythm, energy and laughter, as Rosen captures in the most remarkable way what it means to be very, very young.

I mean, I'm not the audience they were written for so many that's part of it, but I'd like to think that I'm still very much a kid at heart and I read a lot of kids' books, so I don't think that's a full explanation. The illustrations are absolutely delightful and children will enjoy looking at them and talking about them. Some of the other poems are a little strange and I could see parents being put off by the first few. Accompanied by luscious watercolor and pencil illustrations with plenty of appeal for young readers, 35 poems play with language and sound in lines that are easy to read aloud.His books for the very young include: We’re Going on a Bearhunt This is Our House Little Rabbit Foo Foo Michael Rosen has also written a wide range of poetry and information books for older children and also the Uncle Gobb series of novels Uncle Gobb and the Dread Shed Chris Riddellhas illustrated many children’s books and is author and illustrator of the Ottoline and Goth Girl series. A thoroughly silly but darker little work, it will probably remind Yankee readers more of Shel Silverstein than the aforementioned Seuss.

He was the Children’s Laureate from 2007-2009 and has published over 200 books for children and adults, including the recent bestseller Many Different Kinds of Love and On The Move.It is also worth noting that without including any verbal instructions, even the dullest of parental readers will catch on pretty early that many of these poems are interactive.

The poem “Winter” is one of splinters and blisters, but thanks to the gentle hand of Riddell it turns into a snuggly bear hug with mom.She has enjoyed noticing the exciting ways the text and images are laid out and how the words don’t need to be the same size.
