[Mia · Rating 2 out of 5]

Interesting book with poems on each page. Relatively long and the illustrations are very strange.

[Andre · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book is filled with silly verses and colorful artwork. Its pretty easy to love. There is nothing incredibly memorable about it to make it really stand out amongst other works, but there's nothing to dislike about it. The verses all have a physical component to them to which you could easily turn into play.

Hopped along to "Sis-Boom-Ba" and "Sock Race" during preschool story time.
