Harsh truth

Beautifully illustrated by Alice Tait, Pam Ayres' poem about The Last Hedgehog is a clever set of verses about the demise of the hedgehog population. Although the rhyme makes readers want to laugh, it highlights the dangers to hedgehogs caused by contemporary society. With this short book, Ayres hopes to open the eyes of the ignorant and change people's attitudes to nature.

Decent

I would be lying if I said that I have read every poem, but I have read a fair few. Reading early Scots is difficult (even for a Scot) but some of the medieval ballads are fun. Check out 'The Twa Corbies' or Jenny Nettles' holding her bairn under her oxter, good fun.

BookwormMama14 (18 KP) rated The Night Before Christmas in Books

Jan 2, 2019

With Christmas fast approaching I realised that we don't own a copy of The Night Before Christmas. Therefore I began my hunt for a copy that my three year old would enjoy. I wanted something with vivid color and interaction. The pages are very busy and there is something new to see each time we open the pages. The traditional poem has always been one of my favorites. The illustrations add life to the words. My son loves it and keeps asking to "Read Santa!" and he goes around saying "Dash away! Dash away!" If you too are on the hunt for The Night Before Christmas, I recommend this copy. Eventually I would like a classic hard copy of this poem to own, but this year I am settling for a digital copy of this version that I found through our local library. May your season be filled with Christmas cheer!
