Simpkin

A bouncing, read-aloud rhyme about all the things a child can be, from the nation''s favourite illustrator, Quentin Blake!

"Here is SIMPKIN

Simpkin FAST and Simpkin SLOW

Simpkin HIGH and Simpkin LOW"

Simpkin is a mass of contradictions. He can be nasty and nice; weak and strong and sensible and silly - ALL at the same time! And when you really need him most - he''s nowhere to be found . . .

"Blake is beyond brilliant . . . I''ve never met a child who doesn''t love Quentin Blake" - Daily Telegraph
