An illustrated collection of more than forty poems which include characters such as Miss Lickapan, Isabelle Caramella and her white cat, and a pig that wanted a career.
Although she wrote a variety of poems, songs, books, plays, musicals, and radio- en television drama, she is known best for her children's literature, for which she received the Hans Christian Andersen Award in 1988. She committed suicide a day after her 84th birthday and was buried in Amsterdam.
I love this book of poems. It is just so much fun! The illustrations are also incredibly enjoyable. I read these poems many times as a young girl, and my sweet baby girl is loving them right now already.
Poems are wonderful! This is the second book I read of Annie M.G. Schmidt's, she is amazing and sense of humor. Her imaginations were great and I don't why it take me so long to discover her. Haha.
