We love this book’s energetic mix of rap, rhyme and gloriously silly ideas! The journey from school to the zoo, beach and museum creates a lively read-aloud experience, while the playful word choices invite children to join in and perform. Especially well suited to children who enjoy humour, poetry and making up their own rhymes; parents and carers should expect plenty of deliberately absurd silliness.
