Today is #WorldAnimalDay
What would they tell us, if they could?
Poem from Blue Jelly and Strawberries, published by @otterbarrybooks.bsky.social and illustrated by Kate Sheppard.
#UKKidLit #KidLitUK #Books
What Are They Trying to Tell Us? What does the mouse tell us with his squeak? What secrets hide in the eagle's beak? What does the elephant sign with her trunk? What can we learn from the stinky skunk? What does Miaow mean? What about Moo? What is Hello in Kangaroo? What tales are curled in a monkey's tail? Or held in the jaws of a great blue whale? What is the joke in a parakeet's squawk? If only animals could talk! Attie Lime

It's that time of year again! Here's one of my favourite poems from #bluejellyandstrawberries to share with younger children on school visits (a calm one, unusually!!). Answer in 2nd image, plus gorgeous illustration by Kate Sheppard @otterbarrybooks.bsky.social #autumnpoems #ks1 #ukkidlit #kidlituk
Autumn Secret In my hand is a secret a smooth, shiny secret. In my hand is a secret a hard, round, brown secret. In my hand is a secret a secret something I found. In my hand is a secret a secret which fell to the ground. In my hand is a secret. What's in my hand? Attie Lime

Tomorrow's poem for National Poetry Day 2025, theme 'Play', is from a lovely book edited by Roger Stevens, Attie Lime & Trevor Millum. It's a fun to have a go at writing a poem where all the words begin with the same letter. I cheated a bit using contractions. Important to choose the right letter
