This from @attielime.bsky.social is poetry at its best. Poetry for me is about celebrating the fun you can have with words and this book captures that perfectly. #ukkidlit #poetry #poemsforchildren

I’ve been loving Bananas in My Ears by Michael Rosen and I’m particularly drawn to these “What If…” poems: whimsical thought experiments that inspire the imagination.
