Summary Note

`Tongue twisters are a part of everyone’s childhood memories. In this collection John Lawrence has put old favourites like `She sells sea shells by the sea shore’ beside others that will be less familiar, and illustrated them all with pictures in colour and in black and white. Tongue Twisters is in the same format as Rabbit and Pork, John Lawrence’s much acclaimed book of wood engravings illustrating Cockney rhyming slang.’ [back cover].
