'I'm ready for spaghetti Will you getti the spaghetti? Don't say, Not yetti spaghetti!'cos I'm all setti for spaghetti.'. Fizzing with rhythm, energy and laughter, the 30 poems in Ready for Spaghetti delight in the details of children's daily routines. Up, up, uppity-up!, the first poem announces, while the artwork shows a child leaping out of bed, ready to begin their morning; Hush and a hush, soft and low, chants the final poem, as children snuggle under their blankets after their day's adventures. Full of affectionate observations of young children, which are beautifully continued in Polly Dunbar's warm-hearted pictures, Michael Rosen's poems are ideal for reading aloud with toddlers. and many grown-ups will soon know them by heart!.

Review: 3.5 stars. Rosen has given us classics, he's made us cry, he's created joyful stories and narrative poems that will entertain generations. Everyone should have his books in their child's collections. I loved the idea of following children through their day with poetry. And they do sound just like young children do. From getting up and brushing teeth, to playing with balloons and paddling pools, eating and getting into bed again, it's a full day of fun and poetry. I'm just not a fan of so much 'noise' in repetition, repeated words when read aloud for me just feel hard to express. A few of these felt that way: Digger. Here They Come. Some of these poems are marvellous - Ready for Spaghetti plays with words, The Itch personifies a scratchy itch. Mirror felt Shirley Hughes-like in its delving inside a toddler's brain at how they see the world around them. Dunbar does a lovely job illustrating Rosen's little people. It's a collection of poems that children may like more than their adults, I can see moments of lovely connection in there and some that for me just leave me wondering if I'm just an old grouch. Lovely hardback, and children need poetry in their lives. For ages 2-5. With thanks to Walker Books for providing a sample reading copy.
