Kick! The game has begun!

Hickory Dickory Kick,

the timer s-l-o-w-l-y ticked…

The clock struck one,

the match has begun!

Hickory Dickory Kick!

Fans line the sidelines and cheer from the stands. Everyone loves a good game of rugby!

This is a country game however with some extra hazards on the field. At first a flanker loses a sock. Another player splits his pants and another shares a giant fart that clears the scrum!

Granny is on the sideline and her wool gets a bit tangled underfoot. Not to mention players slipping on the cow pats. A neighbourhood dog decides to join in the fun and runs on the field to play too. Once he’s got that rugby ball, he’s off across the field.

Hickory Dickory Bark

old Buck ran on the park.

He stole the ball

and dodged them all!

Hickory Dickory Bark!

A bright, non-stop action picture book full of laughs for young rugby fans, and those who love to read great rhyme aloud. So much fun! 

Loved it!
