Out and About: a First Book of Poems

The internationally acclaimed Shirley Hughes offers a treasury of seasonal poems that evokes the day-to-day experiences of the very young.

Watch out, fences,
Fields, and town!
From the top of the world
I come rolling down.

In this joyous collection of poems, Katie and her little brother, Olly, are ready for whatever each day offers?sunshine, wind, rain, mist, or snow. From the happy sights and sounds of the beach to the quiet beauty of leaves in a rain puddle, this exuberant volume captures to perfection the everyday wonder of being out and about.
