Bøker av Pat Brisson

We celebrate firemen and soldiers-and rightly so. But let's also celebrate teachers, bus drivers, shop keepers, postmen and the others who keep the world spinning around every day. And let's give a nod to children, too-children who are kind and brave and help each other. They're heroes too. In structure, flow and pitch, very much like Pat Brisson's Before We Eat (ISBN 978 0 88448 652 7).

A joyous board book for infants doing tummy time and toddlers fascinated by other babies' faces.

Common Critters celebrates neighborhood wildlife in verse. A familiar cast of characters-worms, slugs, caterpillars, ladybugs, robins, mourning doves, houseflies, spiders, squirrels, skunks, and others-crawls, runs, buzzes, and flits through these lively poems, which show how exotic these seemingly ordinary creatures really are.
