A collection of crazy, nonsense, fun poems.

These poems are laugh-out loud funny! I picked this up at D.I., not realizing what a treasure I had found. Here is a sample:
"Another Rainy Day"
I'm feeling quite froggy
'Cause the ground is so soggy.
It has rained every day for a week!
My skin's turning green,
Flies look yummy to me,
And I'm starting to croak when I speak!
Oh, I wish it would stop!
All I do now is Hop!
This rain doesn't make any sense!
On the bright side of this,
If you give me akiss,
I might jst turn into a prince!
The pictures are very engaging, too. This is a great one to get kids interested in poetry! -
This ia a book of cute little rhymes targeted at kids. The illustrations make the poems even more interesting. Don't miss the mini-biographies of the authors at the end of the book, because they are also humorous.

Laughed out loud at some of the poems - looked for excuses to read them to kids!

Funny but she'll appreciate it better when she's more mature. To be borrowed again when she's 4 or 5.
