Young listeners and readers will be "stirred" to action as they follow along with the lilting rhyme, rhythm, and repeating words of Christina Rossetti's classic children's poem, illustrated as a board book by Swiss artist Monique Felix. The animal characters portrayed in Felix's expressive, child-friendly style convey irrepressible emotion and energy, while a basic recipe for pancakes presented at the outset lends an element of nonfiction to the lyrical text. A simple, accessible introduction to poetry for little learners.
