  1. So glad to see that Anthony Browne is in your list!

    I've come across a delightful poem by Anthony Browne and I felt compelled to share it with my fellow reading lovers! It's a short poem, but it sure put a smile on my face!

    It's on my blog - http://arewenearlythereyet.wordpress.com/2010/01/14/after-that-i-had-a-stummercake/.

    Hope you enjoy (it's a special exclusive!!) :D x
