Three classic Dennis Lee titles in
one beautiful book
This
giftable and shareable volume brings together three of Dennis Lee’s best-loved
collections of poetry— Alligator Pie , Jelly Belly and The Ice Cream Store —spanning
three decades of his warm and whimsical rhymes.
“You
can almost hear the skipping rope slapping the sidewalk,” wrote Margaret
Laurence of Dennis Lee’s timeless poetry collection Alligator Pie . One of the first published illustrated books about
Canadian children, and featuring Frank Newfeld’s instantly recognizable
original illustrations, Alligator Pie
has sold more than half a million copies since its publication in 1974.
Originally published in 1983, Jelly Belly tickles readers with a mix of humour and traditional
Mother Goose charm. The vivid illustrations by Juan Wijngaard (winner of the
1981 Mother Goose Award) reveal wonders as readers follow the characters
throughout the book and stumble upon new and fascinating visual treasures.
In the kid-pleasing collection The Ice Cream Store , originally published in 1991, Dennis Lee
delves into the special and imaginative world of children. David McPhail’s
gorgeous and appealing watercolour paintings of children and animals portray
both the familiar and the fantastic, extending the meaning of the poems and
providing a colourful feast for the eye.
