  4. Picture books aside - that was the best description of anapaests and dactyls I have EVER read!

    BEAUTIFUL boy, btw, and haven't I seen that blanket somewhere before?

  5. Thanks, Rachel. He is a beautiful boy, when he isn't raising hell:)

    I like that blanket, so it's possible I've used it somewhere before. I'm thinking of adopting it as my superhero cape.

  6. Hi Thomas, Nice series of posts on rhyming picture books. (Enjoyed the HP cover post too).

    I've just submitted my rhyming picture book manuscript and I think it follows most of the advice here. Hoping for the best!

  8. Hi Thomas - just stepping out into the world of submitting rhyming picture books. Been writing rhyming verse for a while, and published my own collection last year (www.conradburdekin.com). Wondered if you knew of a complete list of agents / publishers in the UK who will accept submissions of rhyming picture books? Really enjoyed your insights. Thanks so much. Conrad
