First sentence: Up!
Up, up, uppity-up!
The light shines through the window
Up, up, uppity-up!
Here is my nose and here's my elbow
Up, up, uppity-up!
My feet are standing on the floor
Up, up, uppity-up!
My feet are taking me out the door
Premise/plot: A collection of fun/funny poems written for young children by Michael Rosen. The poems take you through the course of a day--though not necessarily the same day. The first poem is a morning poem. The last poem is a bedtime poem. The poems follow four friends.
My thoughts: I enjoyed this poetry book. It was super fun. I love Polly Dunbar's illustrations. I have for years. Her art always has had a special place in my heart. I adore her work. The poems work for me. I think they are relatable and enjoyable.
On the Swings
Swing me on the swing,
Higher and higher and higher.
I'm a swingy flyer!
Higher and higher and higher.
Swing me on the swing,
Push me, push me, push.
I go swooshy-swoosh!
Push me, push me, push.
Swing me on the swing,
Swinging and swinging and swinging.
Swing me on the swing.
I'm singing and singing and singing.
