I CAN'T, SAID THE ANT

Polly Cameron's brand of nonsense rhyme is as infectious as ever in this second book for the very young (last year's: A Child's Book of Nonsense). Again using red and white illustrations, she tells the stirring tale of Polly Teapot's rescue by an army of resourceful ants after a fall to the kitchen floor. Children will enjoy the role played by a host of familiar kitchen inhabitants; and the verse is varied enough to propel the action rather than distracting from it.
