Little Poems for Tiny Ears, poems by Lin Oliver, illustrated by Tomie dePaola
published 2014 by Nancy Paulsen Books

Here’s a brand new book of poetry for the littlest tweedledees.

Full of tiny poems about noses and toesies, sneezes and stroller walks and Dad’s beard.

Most are a bit longer than that, but not all. And the longest ones are still quite short, full of words that dance and tickle.
One poem per page, and each page lovingly illustrated by Tomie DePaola. Jolly, colorful, with huge child-appeal.

In case you want to give it as a gift, they’ve designed the book cover to fold around itself and become its own wrapping paper! Clever them.

Hope your week-end is grand. Come back Monday when I’ve got a whole batch of enticing easy readers and fabulous first chapter books.
