Welcome to Litsy!

“Alligator pie, alligator pie, if I don‘t get some, I think I‘m gonna die.”

“A tasty feast of rhymes that will leave readers hungry for more.“

This delightful collection of silly and inventive poems is a Canadian classic that celebrates the joy of language and play.

“Give away my hat, give away my shoe. But don‘t give away my alligator stew.”

The rhyme is consistent and follows an easy pattern. Great for kids.

Such a cute book! The title poem is funny and clever.

Next up on my agenda at the Vancouver Writers Fest #VWF2017. 😊

Oh, you know, just a typical Canadian children's book from the 70s. #twisted (Fun fact: I was born in Moose Jaw)

#marchintoreading Happy #Pi?Pie! Day! Anyone else feeling hungry after scouring their bookshelves for books about pie?

A favorite from my childhood. I remember seeing those poems done live and I still have many of them memorized. Really enjoying reading these with my son. Fun nursery rhymes featuring Canadian places and silliness. "Alligator pie, alligator pie, if I don't get some I think I'm gonna die, give away my hockey stick..."
