    About this ebook

    WINNER OF THE LAUGH OUT LOUD AWARDS AND THE PEOPLE'S BOOK PRIZE

    Joshua Seigal, winner of the 2020 and 2023 Laugh Out Loud Book Awards (the only UK prize for funny children's books voted for entirely by children), brings his raucous humour, creativity and wit to another brilliant collection of poems. Ideal for fans of Michael Rosen, this book will delight all young readers and fans of funny books.

    From hilarious to heartfelt poems – and everything in between – this collection offers something for everyone. Discover the eight steps for having a successful tantrum, and why you should NEVER attend a Teddy Bear's Picnic (you have been warned). Packed full of fun illustrations by Sarah Horne, and covering a range of imaginative topics, Yapping Away is the perfect follow-up to Joshua Seigal's prize-winning collection I Bet I Can Make You Laugh.

    Ideal for children as young as 3 to read with adults, or for children aged 5-7 to read by themselves.

      Summer: A Love Story

      Apr 20, 2021
