This prompted me to unearth some plays I’d written for a school reading group, and since then I’ve had 20 plays published. One of my television songs, A SQUASH AND A SQUEEZE, was made into a book in 1993, with illustrations by the wonderful Axel Scheffler.

I really enjoy getting the children in the audience to help me act out the stories and sing the songs. So, although the senences are not detailed or extensive it still provides an opportunity for young readers to build on their vocabulary.There is an obvious pattern in the senence structure as well as the actual length of each sentence, allowing the reader to anticipate what they are going to find as they turn the page. Even the smallest toddler will enjoy the wonderfully silly animal antics in this book – you’ve never been to a dinner party like it!
