great fun for parents and children - By: , 04 Jan 2005
This is a lovely book for children aged from three upwards, although the verse is so nice to listen to that younger children might enjoy it as well. What I like best about it is that the rhythms & sounds are such a pleasure to read aloud, my daughter likes the silly story (about little green-headed people callled jumblies who go on a big sea voyage in a sieve), & the illustrations are also lovely. It is nice to read a classic poem which I remember from my own childhood, which is more fun to read than a lot of current children's books & is illustrated as beautifully as most. If you enjoy reading more modern verse books for children such as the Gruffalo, you will almost certainly enjoy this one. Definitely recommended & one you & your child(ren) will come back to again & again without either of you getting bored by it!
Graduate from the Owl and the Pussycat - By: , 04 Dec 2001
Every child knows the Owl & the Pussycat, but the Jumblies is more fun! The catchy chorus is simple, silly & easy to learn, enabling children to become involved in the book, even before they can read it. The illustrations are beautiful.
