Simpkin is a bouncing, read-aloud rhyme about all the things a child can be, from the nation's favorite illustrator, Quentin Blake. He can be nasty and nice, weak and strong, sensible and silly, and when you need him most, he's nowhere to be found. Blake is beyond brilliant, and I've never met a child who doesn't love Quentin Blake.
