A Great Big Cuddle (2015)

A Great Big Cuddle. Michael Rosen. Illustrated by Chris Riddell. 2015. Candlewick. 80 pages. [Source: Review copy]

Love poetry? Want to introduce your little ones to poetry? Michael Rosen's A Great Big Cuddle is a lovely collection of poems for the 'very young.' The poems are, for the most part, silly and fun and packed with rhythm.

Poems include:

• Tippy-Tappy
• Party Time
• Music
• Wiggly Wiggly
• Reading Lesson
• Mr. Hobson-Jobson Says
• I Am Angry
• Gruff and Dave
• Let Me Do It
• Hello Good-bye

There is a lot of variety in the poems. Some short and simple. Others a good deal longer. Some tell stories. Others are more a collection of really fun sounds to string together.

Overall, this one is easy to recommend.
