Book Description
"The Owl and the Pussy-Cat went to sea In a beautiful pea-green boat..."
The Owl and the Pussy-Cat are just two of the well-known characters which Eric Kincaid has chosen to guide young people on a voyage of poetic discovery in this beautiful collection.
It's a journey to carry their imagination into a myriad of enchanting worlds; some familiar, others excitingly fresh and unknown. With the turn of every page, a different view opens up, from the sparkling shyline in such nursery classics as 'Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star' to Wordsworth's daffodil-strewn English Lake District and the lost lands of Eldorado.
Travel to the end of the rainbow, soar with eagles, fly to the moon, shiver with old Jack Frost, delight in the animal kingdom, tremble in the underworld, dance with fairies at the bottom of the garden or watch the seasons change... with poetry there are no bounds to how far the young eye can see, and Eric Kincaid's marvellous illustrations ensure the view is both clear and pleasing.
So where did the Owl and the Pussy-Cat go?
"They sailed away for a year and a day to the land where the Bong-Tree grows..."
Join them, and hundreds of other bewitching characters, on a spellbinding journey into the magical land of rhyme and verse.
