Amazon.co.uk:Customer reviews: Poppy's Tail

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 September 2021

This is such a simple, yet highly effective, rhyming story, perfect for promoting discussion in an Early Years classroom. I've used it for three years running now with my Reception classes and the creativity and vocabulary it inspires is fabulous, as they imagine, describe and eventually design and create their own dream tail.

Such a great find which I would highly recommend for the 3-5 age group.

We love Poppy from the first page

What a lovely book! We love Poppy from the first page, thanks to the delightful and brightly coloured illustrations which hold the attention throughout the story. Each page comes alive as we're taken through her dreams of what tails she could have and what she could do with them! Even though the book is recommended for younger children, my granddaughter aged nearly 9 loved it and had fun reading it to her younger brother. There is plenty of opportunity to expand on the storyline and to have imaginative discussions about what Poppy's thinking and what else she could do with her tails! It's a happy, feel good book and one that will be a staple in the bookcase to be re-read many times I'm sure.

This is an adorable book. It is written in rhyme with lovely colourful illustrations. It involves humour and a broad selection of words - some of which are simple for young children but also a few that are challenging. It really made me smile and I can't wait to read it with my young nephews/neice. I think it is the sort of book young children will want you to read again and again, and I can see how it will fire imaginative discussions about Poppy's tail..... and who knows what Poppy will be up to in her next story.

A big hit!

You know that a children's book is a big hit when the child wants it read to them four or five times a day. And Poppy's Tail hits the nail on the head. Great success with my godson's 4 year old daughter who wants more stories about Poppy. Hope Cate Douglas has got follow ups in the pipeline. Has also resolved Christmas shopping issues - every small child I know will be getting a copy for Christmas.
Beautifully drawn, colourful - spot on.

I bought this book as a present for my friend's little boy. From the moment he unwrapped it his mum has had to read it to him every day. He really enjoys it and he absolutely loves looking at beautiful colourful illustrations.
Now, the lovely soft and colourful tails are also available I am definitely gonna get one for him as well.
Very happy customer here. 😊

This is a beautifully written and illustrated book that holds young children captivated. It is colourful, glossy, great value for money and right on trend. I love the way creativity and imagination is promoted. I note from Twitter Cate Douglas is prepared to go and read the book in reception classes which is great for children on every level. I will certainly recommend a visit to my local primary school.

I bought this book to entertain my two lovely Nieces. This is a lovely book, a simple but charming story with equally charming, un-cluttered illustrations and layout. More importantly, the girls just LOVE IT, all three of us almost know it word for word now. Thoroughly recommend this proper return to childhood innocence.

He loved choosing his favourite tail

This is a lovely book which has really engaged a gorgeous 3 year old old little boy. He loved choosing his favourite tail. A bonus is that his 6 year old sister enjoys reading it to him so it works on two levels. I thoroughly recommend this book and look forward to more from the author.

Fabulous book

I bought Poppy's Tail for my granddaughter for her birthday. To say she loves it is an understatement. She takes it everywhere with her and it's starting to look a little worn. The pictures are wonderful - bright and colourful. Highly recommended for small people.
