Description

Step into the breezy world of Peter Patter, a solitary youngster who lives among cedar bark and pine trees, sharing secrets with squirrels, crickets, and his wise Uncle Owl. From moonlit gatherings under an oak to the chatter of forest creatures, the verses capture a gentle, imaginative rhythm that feels like a whispered conversation with nature itself.

The collection bursts with playful, tongue‑in‑cheek rhymes—whether it’s “A Copper Down a Crack” with its bustling miners, the mischievous “Blue Song” that promises to grow you tall as a telephone pole, or the lively “Hippity Hop to Bed” that turns bedtime into a dance. Each short poem invites listeners to laugh, imagine, and perhaps even join the rhyme, making this anthology a charming companion for children and the young at heart.
