Rating: 3 out of 5

Yesterday, I finished reading “Quick, let’s get out of here” by Michael Rosen. This is a book of amusing children’s poetry which I read to my Mum (who has dementia but used to enjoy poetry) I chose Michael Rosen on the strength of “chocolate cake”, a poem that we’d both enjoyed in days gone by. Few of the other poems stood out, with the exception of Gymnastics and Orange juice, but they were easy to read and the simple illustrations are a nice addition. I was, however, frustrated by some of the spelling mistakes in the kindle ebook version - I find this annoying in a print book, but inexcusable in an ebook.

Highlighted passage:

Wise one, wise one how long is a piece of string? Twice as long as half its length
