Shuffle and Squelch

Written by Julia Donaldson

Narrated by Justin Fletcher

Kick your boots off, everyone.
Summer's here and so's the sun.

Bright, bold and accessible, this collection of poems is packed full of noises and actions -- perfect for joining in. There are counting rhymes and animal rhymes, rhymes to make you shuffle and squelch and clatter and patter, and rhymes to make you gallop like a horse or slide down the banister.
