'But It Wasn't Me Miss' is an illustrated children's story book, written in verse. It is aimed at children up to the age of about 10. The illustrations are in colour and the media used are pen and crayon. The story tells of a series of disastrous events in a school. The possible culprit denies all knowledge of these 'accidents' by insisting "but it wasn't me, miss." The book is humorous, but raises underlying questions about the issues surrounding taking responsibility for your own actions. Verse and rhyme are good introductions for children to their language and culture. Verse is an oral art and makes the words easy to remember. In this story the text and pictures are fully-integrated and verse makes the telling of the story fun.
