Here's a book of giggly, wiggly, squiggly poems

You can munch them for breakfast

You can crunch them for lunch

You can gobble them for dinner 

But most of all -

You can read them out loud

And share them with your friends

Again and again . . .

Between these pages, you will find pirates, shower monsters, dinosaurs, puppy dogs, and many other giggly rhymes to delight. Ideal for reading aloud, one-on-one, or to a group of children, who will love acting out the poems. With charming illustrations by Pamela Allen.

Condition: Very good condition
Format:  Hardcover, out of print
Age:  2+

Meredith Costain grew up on a dairy farm on the Koo Wee Rup swamp in West Gippsland, Victoria. After finishing school and university she taught English for a while in the country then travelled around the world to places like Siberia, Morocco and northern Sumatra. She started teaching again in Melbourne, played in a few rock and blues bands, before becoming a full-time writer. She lives with her partner, children's author Paul Collins, with their numerous pets.


Pamela Allen is a phenomenon in the world of children's literature. For almost thirty years her picture books have enchanted generations of children, both in Australia and overseas and many of her titles have won prestigious awards and commendations both in Australia and overseas, and have earned classic status through their enduring popularity with the very young.

Pamela's books are full of the music of language; they are 'fragments of theatre', designed to be read aloud and shared between an adult and a child. Eight of Pamela's titles were adapted for the stage by Patch Theatre Company, and performed in the Sydney Opera House. In 2004, Grandpa and Thomas won the Children's Book Council Book of the Year Award: Early Childhood and The Potato People was named an Honour Book in the same category in 2003, and Grandpa and Thomas and the Green Umbrella was shortlisted for the same award in 2007, as was Shhh! Little Mouse in 2008. Is Your Grandmother a Goanna? won a 2008 Speech Pathology of Australia Book of the Year Award, as did Our Daft Dog Danny in 2010.
