What is Action Rhymes about?
Fourteen lively poems invite young children to move, pretend and play. With each rhyme, they can become a clanking robot, zooming rocket, diving submarine, snapping alligator or wriggling creepy-crawly creature. The verses are short, rhythmic and easy to join in with, while colourful illustrations show children how to act out many of the words. Designed for shared reading and active participation, this playful collection brings poetry to life through imagination, movement and plenty of energetic fun.
