It's Poetry Friday in the Kidlitosphere. Book Aunt is hosting this week's round-up of poetry themed blogging.
I'm in with a link to one of my favourite children's authors reading one of my favourite kidlit poems.
As I was obsessively google-ing the Ahlbergs (Peepo
, Each, Peach, Pear, Plum
, The Baby's Catlalogue
etc.) I turned up these fantastic recordings of Allan reading a selection of his poems for the Children's Poetry Archive. His reading of Please Mrs Butler
, about a slightly batty school teacher, seems like an appropriate one for this time of year. Take no offense teachers, Allan was an educator himself. To listen to Allan recite in full Midlands accented glory click here.

We love a good recording of a reaading in our house! Thanks for the reminder - I need to dig up some good ones to play for Baby L!
