Two of the biggest names in childrens publishing, Michael Rosen and Chris Riddell, come together in a new poetry collection.Winner of the 2016 CLPE Poetry Award. Two of the biggest names in childrens publishing, Michael Rosen and Chris Riddell, come together in a new poetry collection. The poems in A Great Big Cuddle fizz off the page with sound and rhythm, energy and laughter, as Rosen captures in the most remarkable way what it means to be very, very young. A childs world with all its details and feelings toys and games, animals and made-up creatures, likes and dislikes is vividly conjured up in the most memorable, playful language, and Chris Riddell has produced some his most extraordinary pictures ever to bring this world to life. It's a book that will be enjoyed by the oldest grown-up and the youngest child and a future classic.

This book was recognised in the Poetry category by the Parents' Choice Award.

Michael Rosen's close and affectionate observation of small children and the way they think is brilliantly captured [...]Chris Riddell's illustrations created an equally warm-hearted view of the early years and capture the spirit of the poems perfectly. * Julia Eccleshare, LoveReading *

 

With repetition and jollity, this collection of short poems will provide hours of special shared moments. The illustrations are beautifully observed, too. * Baby London *
