Axel Scheffler's delightful artwork brings to life playful and easily accessible poems by Frantz Wittkamp, wonderfully adapted from German to English by Roger McGough.There are lions and tigers and mice galore, not to mention a whole host of other bizarre and loveable creatures in this fully illustrated collection of short poems. Each four-line poem conjures a new scene or concept and their short length, combined with colourful and detailed artwork, makes this book ideal for introducing poetry to young children. Ranging from curious to witty, touching to joyful, and all exquisitely illustrated by the award-winning Axel Scheffler, this is the perfect book of poetry to share with readers young and old. A beautiful hardback with cloth binding and a ribbon, Fish Dream of Trees makes an excellent gift.
