In 1968 she appeared on the BBC "Blue Peter" program, sitting up drinking from her milk bottle, begging for jam butties, opening her tin of Yeast Vite tablets and performing a series of leaps and bounds across the stage. This little book has been written at two reading levels, in the form a countryside ramble. The poetry, paintings, and infants' drawings will be easily identified and understood by the younger children, while the narrative is more for grown-ups and older children. The story is presented first followed by children's poetry and pictures. Paperback Signed by Author No Date Given. Condition: VG. Previous owner gift inscription also inside front cover.
