A couple of Elizabeth’s poems:
Love these poems – especially Aunty Dot!
Agred. I want to meet Aunty Dot!
I have had great fun using “Auntie Dot” with my class of seven year olds in England – they love making up their own rhyming couplets! Great fun for them learning about rhyme and pattern. Thank you!
i love her books
