In lilting verses and joyous illustrations we meet Annie Rose, who introduces her toys, splashes in puddles on rainy days, and gets all sticky at teatime. She spends time with her mother, father, and grandma, but most often plays with her big brother, Alfie. Hughes's familiar illustrations of rough-and-tumble, apple-cheeked children fill every page, bringing life to the collection of verses.
