It took me about 3 reads before I found my ‘groove’, the tempo changes all over the place and some of the rhymes are questionable but luckily Amy doesn’t pick it out that often.

Other than the Hungry Caterpillar (with obligatory grubby finger mark beneath the word “pop”), the only children’s book worth its salt is “Pass the Jam Jim”.

This Christmas Eve was the first in about 6 years where I haven’t read a children’s book out to our group (or indeed, in the case of Pass the Jam Jim, the whole pub).

My Mum (works in a school, has worked in a playgroup) says that book is 'rubbish'. Her favourite book (other than The Hungry Hungry Caterpillar is Peace At Last by Jill Murphy. It's the one she pushes on everyone! Bec's last blog post..Kinda See Their Pointâ€¦

I thought you got most of your books from doting relatives? I too love Ted Hughes (excellent surname amongst other things) Sam's last blog post..Nice Man from Nigeria

As much as I would like to jump rope with a snake..I will keep in mind not to buy this book when it's my time to buy a book for one of my future children (don't have any of those critters running around atm ;) ) Arjan's last blog post..Meme

Have you seen this: http://www.lookybook.com/index.php ?

It allows you to look at children books in their entirety. It didn’t have your snake book. I wanted to see it before I commented because:

a) My degree is in English (Fiction Writing, not Lit, but close enough)
b) I’m a jazz guy
c) Ted Hughes was awesome

Still, for some odd reason I tend to value your opinion in such matters and will avoid skipping rope with snakes or any other venomous creature.

I'm concerned by the message that is being sent to children about using snakes as playthings. I mean it's not even sensible, if you could find a snake long enough in the first place to play jump rope with you'd be lucky but then to find one who didn't object to being reduced to a child's plaything, the odds are astronomical.
