A bouncing, read-aloud rhyme about all the things a child can be, from the nation's favourite llustrator, Quentin Blake!
Simpkin is a mass of contradictions. He can be naughty and nice; fast and slow; thin and fat and sensible and silly - ALL at the same time! And when you really need him most - he's nowhere to be found. . . .
Quentin Blake has illustrated more than three hundred books and was Roald Dahl's favourite illustrator. In 1980 he won the prestigious Kate Greenaway Medal. In 1999 he became the first ever Children's Laureate and in 2013 he was knighted for services to illustration.
