about this book: Following on the heels of the popular first book in the 'Small Folk Tales' series, this collection of jokes, riddles and other mental activities is based on all the beloved characters from the original 'Small Folk Rhymes'. The chapters continue with the same cheerful and appealing names, but I was inspired to expand on their sounds (if they were animals), and colours (if they were clip art characters) and numbers and letters, all delightfully mixed up with a heap of funny riddles and jokes.

There is as much fun contained in this small book for the out-loud reader and the early reader alike, as they play with sounds and share some especially happy moments, looking more closely at the world around them.

Research for a book like this is a joy, providing me with endless fun and learning too, as I sift through ideas and find appropriate pictures to accompany and enhance my words.

My first children's book - the first part of 'Small Folk Rhymes' - earned a 5* Editorial Review and an average 4.3* Customer Reviews, so I'm feeling confident this second part will be even more appealing as it revisits and explores further into 'Guppy Puppies' and 'Lonesome Shoes' and other memorable subjects.

You don't have to own the first book to enjoy Part 2, but be warned - it could well prove irresistible.
