BIOGRAPHY

Polly Dunbar studied illustration at Brighton Art School and lives and works in Brighton. Author and illustrator of Dog Blue and Flyaway Katie, she thinks that colour is a brilliant way to cheer yourself up and whenever she's feeling grey, she puts on her best pink frock and paints! When Polly is not illustrating, she likes to make puppets and is part-founder of Long Nose Puppets which has had award winning success with their adaptation of Shoe Baby. They are now on tour with Flyaway Katie.
Polly is the daughter of the distinguished author Joyce Dunbar with whom she collaborated with on the picture book Shoe Baby.

Here's a Little Poem is a superb selection of over fifty poems by English and American authors, including Wendy Cope, Roger McGough, John Agard, Grace Nichols, Colin McNaughton, Jack Prelutsky, Langston Hughes, and many more. Affectionately describing the early experiences of young children, this is a warmly illustrated, imaginative world of first encounters.
