De belles envolées simples à comprendre, souvent cocasses et toujours surprenantes dans ce livre de poésies dont les illustrations ont été faites par l'auteur. De quoi se régaler si on aime les comptines et les poésies simples à comprendre. Vocabulaire à la portée d'une personne ayant trois ou 4 ans d'anglais derrière elle. Niveau A2, 3ème / seconde, pour la plupart des poésies.
