Wriggle and Roar!
Mayelana nale audiobook
Whenever I'm tired of being me
I swing around like a chimpanzee.
Are you tired of being you? Here's a whole bookful of things you can do! There are rhymes to make you wriggle and giggle, shrug and sigh, snap like a crocodile and slither like a snake. Julia Donaldson's verse jumps off the page and Nick Sharratt's snazzy illustrations add to the fun.
Read by CBeebies TV presenter Justin Fletcher, these rhymes are packed full of noises and actions, making them perfect for joining in.
Look out for more poems from Julia Donaldson and Nick Sharratt in Shuffle and Squelch!
