This beautifully illustrated book is a wonderful collection of rhymes with suggested actions to be used throughout the year. With rhymes about Easter, Diwali, and Christmas, the sense of rhythm and rhyme linked with movement is a fun way to develop coordination skills, with a love of words from a very young age. From stomping dinosaurs to unicorn wishes, the owl in the castle to the hopping robin the rhymes have a sense of fun. With each rhyme there are ideas for actions to use with babies or young children. A perfect addition to a Pre Nursery, Nursery, Reception or Year 1 class. The illustrations could be used as a starter for a dinosaur topic, or in a Key Stage 1 class, (age 5-7 years). as inspiration for creative work on poetry with movement, and art.
