See You Later, Escalator

Compiled by John Foster

See you later, escalator!
In a blink, fizzy drink.

See you later, rollerskater!
In a tick, lolly stick.

Here is a collection of poems and rhymes for very young children. With themes ranging from magic, seasons, and favourite pets to families, feelings, celebrations, and bedtime, there are poems for every occasion. And the mix of traditional rhymes, limericks, lullabies, and comic verse adds up to an anthology to suit all moods and moments. There are contributions from Michael Rosen, Giles Andreae, Kaye Umansky, Quentin Blake, and many, many more. Each poem is accompanied by full colour artwork - from a diverse range of illustrators including Tony Ross and Helen Lanzrein.
