Inhaltsangabe

<i>Twelve amusing poems by the &#8220;queen of Dutch children&#8217;s literature,&#8221; paired with charming illustrations of reindeer houseguests, mischievous little girls, ever-singing tea kettles, and more.</i><br><br>This delightful poetry collection offers children and the young at heart a refreshing, inventive look at the world from the well-known Dutch author Annie Schmidt. The rollicking poems tell the stories of such intriguing characters as Aunt Sue and Uncle Steve who nest up in a tree, animated furniture that comes to life when no one is home, and three elderly otters who long to go boating but find themselves biking instead!<br><br>Much like the work of Shel Silverstein or Jack Prelutsky, Annie M.G. Schmidt&#8217;s poetry can transform ordinary events and places into extraordinary adventures full of imagination. Accompanying the poems is bold and expressive artwork that makes this book too charming to resist.
