From two of the biggest names in children' s publishing, this is an inspiring guide to wordplay for young readers, their parents and teachers. I' m ready for spaghetti Will you getti the spaghetti? Don' t say, "Not yetti spaghetti!" ' cos I' m all setti for spaghetti. Fizzing with rhythm, energy and laughter, the 30 poems in Ready for Spaghetti delight in the details of children' s daily routines. "Up, up, uppity-up!", the first poem announces, while the artwork shows a child leaping out of bed, ready to begin their morning; "Hush and a hush, soft and low", chants the final poem, as children snuggle under their blankets after their day' s adventures. Full of affectionate observations of young children, which are beautifully continued in Polly Dunbar' s warm-hearted pictures, Michael Rosen' s poems are ideal for reading aloud with toddlers . . . and many grown-ups will soon know them by heart!
