Review: How Many Points for a Panda by Hilda Offen

How Many Points for a Panda, Hilda Offen, Troika Books

How Many Points for a Panda, Poems for Everyone, Hilda Offen, Troika Books.

This tackles subjects such as what to do if you are swallowed by a whale, and other tricky subjects that must be solved by young and old alike. The book’s poems are beautifully illustrated by the poet herself.

My favourite poem in this is The Naming of Clouds:

From How Many Points for a Panda, Hilda Offen, Troika Books

A lovely book to read with young children.

Book Review: How Many Points for a Panda?, Hilda Offen

How Many Points for a Panda?, Hilda Offen, Pub. Troika.

This is a book of delightful  poems, charmingly and richly illustrated by the author herself, who was CLiPPA shortlisted in 2015. Fantasy and magical poems jostle with the real world wistful and humorous (I laughed out loud several times). Contains poems to please and poems to stretch – recommended.
