In Verse: Volume Three

More curious questions. More unexpected answers. And more reasons to look at the ordinary world a little differently.

In Verse: Volume Three continues the collection of short, playful rhymes written for inquisitive children — and for grown-ups who haven’t entirely forgotten how children think.

Everyday things become much more interesting when viewed through a child’s eyes. Why do socks disappear in the washing machine? What are puddles really for? And if it’s raining cats and dogs, why doesn’t somebody open the door and let them in?

With gentle humour, wordplay and a delight in taking familiar expressions literally, each rhyme begins with something a child might notice, wonder about or completely misunderstand — before following that thought wherever it leads.

Bright, richly detailed illustrations bring each idea to life, giving young readers plenty to discover beyond the words themselves.

Perfect for reading aloud, sharing together, or for newly independent readers who enjoy language, laughter and asking “Why?”

Short rhymes for inquisitive children — because the world makes much more sense when you don’t take it too seriously.
