I Love My Bike tells the story of a girl's first experience with her bike, and is filled with beautiful illustrations and a heartwarming message of perseverance. There's a flame on the frame and I love how it feels from my head to my heels when my feet push the pedals and the pedals turn the wheels. I love my bike. I Love My Bike is a picture book about a daughter learning to ride a bike with the help of her father. It's also about that exhilarating feeling you get when you succeed at something for the first time as a child. And, most importantly, it's about learning that when you fall off, the best thing to do is get back on again! The story is told through wonderful watercolours from critically acclaimed artist Sam Usher, with words from children's poet Simon Mole. Celebrating both family relationships and being outdoors, this is the perfect read for families everywhere.

A witty parlour game to be enjoyed by anyone who can think up a rhyme. In its most simple form, it requires one player (the reader) to read three lines of a four-line verse to the other players, all of whom then write down their own idea for the fourth line. All contributions are handed to the reader who reads them aloud, together with the real line, without revealing the identities of the authors. The players then vote on which is the best and ponits are scored. Instructions for more complex versions of the game are included, and there is a section of poems for children.
