This was such an adorable collection of poems. There was just something so sweet and innocent about them. Such fun.

I really loved all the clear imagery and particularly loved the nature poems.
My favourites were Daffodowndilly, Spring Morning and The Mirror.

One of my favorite poems lies in this book. It always reminds me of my childhood.

I really enjoyed this collection of poems, although I did expect another Winnie the Pooh story at first. It's lovely writing though, capturing that essence of childhood and growing up without being patronising. Also, the illustrations are just gorgeous!
