All Join In

Summary

Everybody likes to shout and sing, but it's definitely more fun when we all join in! A hilarious collection of read-aloud rhymes from the nation's favourite illustrator, Quentin Blake!

'And if Ferdinand decides to make
a chocolate fudge banana cake
What do we do? For goodness sake!
We ALL JOIN IN!'

The collection includes 'All Join In', 'The Hooter Song', 'Nice Weather for Ducks' and 'Sorting Out the Kitchen Pans'. Who could possibly resist?

Reviews

  • I knew it was a classic the instant I saw it . . . The simple verse is brilliant for reading aloud and is perfectly complemented by Blake's spiky, anarchic pictures. An absolute must for the under-fives
