Big Red Dragon: Play-Rhymes Through the Year

About Jane Newberry

Jane Newberrys unique insight into very young children began as a puppeteer at childrens parties. She then taught music to Early Years groups for 25 years garnering and creating a portfolio of rhymes and songs for creative play. Her previous collection Big Green Crocodile was a great success and prompted many requests for more. Janes work with children in her local library keeps her very much up-to-date with what they like and enjoy. She lives in Cornwall.
