The B on Your Thumb is a book of rhymes and delightful ditties to boost early reading. Each rhyme teaches a particular sound, spelling or rule, and will delight young children with the silliness of the English language.

This is a book where words like to play,
where letters get cross when they don't get their way.
There are sounds to make and jokes to uncover.
An owl in your bowl, for you to discover.
Meet the K on your knee, who's ready for fun,
and don't be alarmed by the B on your thumb!

This is a book of rhymes and delightful ditties to boost early reading. Each rhyme teaches a particular sound, spelling, or rule. Using rhythm and wordplay, they promote phonics awareness, thinking skills and literacy. But most of all, this book aims to delight young readers with the fun and silliness of the English language! Featuring over 40 poems including: See with Two Ees, The Man on the Moon, The Ch in Your Sneeze and, of course, The B on Your Thumb, learning to read has never been so much fun. An introduction instructs grown-ups how to use the book and extensive activities at the end allow the child to build on their learning.

TOR FREEMAN is a London-based freelance illustrator. In 2012 she was awarded the Sendak Fellowship. In 2017 she won the Guardian Graphic Short Story Prize. Her books include the Digby Dog and Olive series. Colette Hiller is a writer, arts producer, and mother of twins. Her arts projects have reached hundreds of thousands of participants--she is the woman who put pianos and ping-pong tables in countless locations across the UK, and is also the mind behind the hit Talking Statues project. Her children's rhymes have been featured on BBC Words and Pictures and her children's LP, Applehead, has been a hit with kids across the world, selling over 50,000 copies. An advocate of early learning, Colette believes that even very young children are receptive to the joy of wordplay (she taught her own twin girls to read by the time they were three).
