The B on Your Thumb

Colette Hiller is a writer, arts producer and author of the critically acclaimed poetry book The B on Your Thumb. Her children’s rhymes have been featured on BBC Words and Pictures and her children’s album, Applehead, has been a hit with kids across the world, selling over 50,000 copies. An advocate of early learning, Colette believes that even very young children are receptive to the joy of wordplay. She taught her own twins to read by the time they were three.

The B on Your Thumb is a book of rhymes and delightful ditties to boost early reading. Each rhyme teaches a particular sound, spelling, or rule, and will delight young children with the silliness of the English language.
