Amazon.co.uk Review
A super collection of short rhymes which children will love listening to and joining in with. Full of simple sounds and crazy pictures, this is Quentin Blake at his best. The pictures and text are in perfect harmony, inviting readers and listeners to make plenty of noise as they read the rhymes. This is a perfect book for sharing with groups but perhaps not the best choice for bedtime reading! --Philippa Reece

Customer Reviews

A super book for children to join in reading
This mini treasure always goes on holiday with us. The illustrations are, as usual, superb, full of fascinating detail, and there is just enough text on each page to keep kids interested before turning over. My two (aged 6 and 2) love this book.

A Read-aloud Classic
Very gratifying and satisfying, lots of opportunities to make a terrific interactive din while you read to your toddler . . .in fact let's all join in!

Brilliant. Highly recommended.
This is incredibly catchy. I haven't read it for a few weeks and can still remember most of it. My little boy remembers most of it too and enjoyed it from when he was not quite 3 years old. Even when they've only heard part of it they can latch onto the repeated chorus "we all join in". Any book that ends "and when Ferdinand decides to make a chocolate fudge banana cake, what do we do for goodness sake? We all join in!!!" does it for me. It's cheap, it's tiny, and it's a great quickie when the little ones are begging for another story. The illustrations are quirky and lacking in the usual shmaltz that is apparently compulsory for most children's books.
