Review:
"Itty-bitty/Bat/Tittle-tattle/Tat/Shilly-shally/Shout/Dilly-dally-Out" ... Nonsense words, sound effect words, made-up words and all around silly fun ("I've got a sausage/You've got a pie/I can't whistle/And I don't know why") characterize this big, read-aloud picture book collection of poems by prolific author Michael Rosen. Chris Riddell's imaginative, comic watercolor and pencil illustrations add notable charm.
