I'll confess though that I'd forgotten that it was called ''Disobedience'', but the reversal of the child/parent roll still delights and I love Shepard's illustration of Mother on a lead being led along behind George on his tricycle. It reminded me of our dog who was always happiest when she had my husband on his lead - it saved worrying about whether or not he would run off into the traffic. I found a new favourite too: ''Daffodowndilly'' which is a lovely reminder at the chilly end of February that spring really is on its way.
There isn't a poor one in all the poems and I really enjoyed both the journey down memory lane and the new explorations. I'd like to thank the publishers for sending a copy of the book to the Bookbag. It's a substantial hardback which will stand a lot of loving and would make a brilliant present either on its own or with the other books published by Egmont in the same series. It (or they) would make a great christening/baptism present. It would sit very well on a shelf with [[Winnie-the-Pooh by A A Milne and E H Shepard|Winnie-the-Pooh]] - and you're never too old for Winnie the Pooh, are you?
