Here's another poem from read by Becky for Messy goes to Okido Storytime!

Brilliant Becky reads another of my poems called, Noisy Machines from Okido magazine issue 29 illustrated by talented Maggie Li and charmingly animated by the team!

This new series is great - check out the Messy goes to Okido YouTube channel for more, including clips, episodes, songs and activities from the hit CBeebies show! 

(MGTO series two on its way...)

BRILLIANT BECKY READS 'FOUR LITTLE SEEDS'...

This is SO cool! I'm really excited to have one of my Okido magazine poems feature on this new Messy Goes to Okido YouTube Storytime slot. Four Little Seeds, from issue 35 (Seasons), is read by the gorgeous Becky, who is not only a brilliant animator/illustrator, but should also seriosuly be considering a second job as a children's television presenter...

And I love the way Alex Barrow's lively illustrations have been slightly animated!
