A Whale of a Time: A Funny Poem for Every Day of the Year (Poetry Collections): Featured in the New York Times Hardcover – Picture Book, 14 Sept. 2023

This has gorgeous illustrations and lovely poems. Some are quite short but we do them every night at bedtime and my daughter loves them.

This is a delightful book of quirky and amusing poems for children, just right for them to read aloud or for you to read to them. One is allocated to each day of the year but you will not be able to stop them reading ahead!

Our 4 year old grandson loves this book as did our 7 year old grandson when he received itA poem for everyday of the yearA good bedtime ritual

Lovely book a real treat to read even though I purchased for my Granddaughter!

Was sold second hand but ‘good as new’ The inside of the spine was damaged, could’ve happened in transit but disappointed when it arrivedOther than that a good book with great pictures to enjoy reading at bedtimes

This is a beautifully illustrated book of poetry, with a funny poem for each day and one for a leap year. The book is targeted at children, but equally adults will enjoy it. The images are vivid and engaging and enhance the enjoyment of each of the verses, while the poems themselves cover a wide range of topics so that there will be be something of interest to all readers in the book.I sought out the hardback edition from my local library after reading the same provided, and the same high quality is maintained throughout the physical book.

This gorgeous collection of poems is a must for all primary school teachers to have on their book shelf to dip in and out of as desired (personally I could never stick to sharing just one poem a day, but it's a nice idea for those who wish to use it in such a way).The illustrations are vibrant and inviting, the poems and poets featured are varied and interesting. It's a beautifully presented book and I'm very pleased with this purchase.My only warning would be that, as it is a hardback book containing 366 poems, it is by nature very very heavy!

Bought for a new born gift to grow with child
