I Am Wriggly

Description

Playful and jubilant, Michael Rosen’s read-aloud delight captures the can’t-sit-still spirit of children with energy to burn.

This bunny is so wriggly! Around and around, on the ground, it waves its feet and drums out a beat. It just can’t stop! But, phew—it’s tiring being this wriggly! Melding an exuberant text by rhyming master Michael Rosen with bold and bouncing illustrations from Robert Starling, this third in a series exploring early childhood emotions is a go-to book to share with little ones. The author’s introductory note to grown-ups invites readers to use I Am Wriggly as a springboard for interactive play.Michael Rosen is a poet and the author of many books for children, including We’re Going on a Bear Hunt, illustrated by Helen Oxenbury, which won the Nestlé Smarties Children’s Book Prize; A Great Big Cuddle, illustrated by Chris Riddell; and Michael Rosen’s Sad Book, illustrated by Quentin Blake. He received the Eleanor Farjeon Award for services to children’s literature in 1997 and served as Children’s Laureate in the UK between 2007 and 2009. Michael Rosen lives in London.
