A Pocketful of Hums

Tobias Plum

A pocket can hide a hum that turns a boring walk into a parade, or a grumpy morning into pancakes flipping in midair. Tobias Plum's tiny rhymes catch the small magic of ordinary places: a garden snail's silver trail, the clatter of a kitchen spoon, the last orange streak before stars come out. Wilf Tanner reads them like a friendly neighbor leaning over a fence, warm and unhurried, with pauses that let listeners hum back. Best for ages 4 to 7, or any child who needs a quiet boost between breakfast and bedtime.
