Books with author Sebag-Montefiore

In Who Am I? A Book of Riddles author Charlotte Sebag-Montefiore has produced a delightful child's bestiary in verse form. Designed to be read aloud, there are thirty-five poems of five verses each, in which different characters of land, sea and air are depicted, by turns humorous and quirky. In a sixth verse, which is refrain, the young listener is invited to guess the identity of each.

Who enjoys lots of quick giggles but not long, boring journeys? Who needs their fears taken away before lights out? Who is still learning about the world but may find formal lessons hard work? Who makes noise or mischief unless they have better ways to amuse themselves? If you can answer CHILDREN to any of these questions you may be holding in your hands the answer to a riddle faced by many parents. For Charlotte Sebag-Montefiore has penned a book of brain-teasers easy enough for children to read, but not too hard for them to guess. What a gift to parents with bored children to amuse, restless children to keep quiet or with sleepless children with bogeymen to banish. For this is her latest book of riddles for them to solve, and to learn while they have fun. (Clue: they don't have to be animal lovers, but it helps.)
