About the author
Janelle Bailey
2 books29 followersI am the author of two books, Pickled Poems, an anthology of nonsense verse for children, and Something Beautiful, a volume of poems and reflections for adults. The publication of these books has been most unexpected, as chronic illness has created great limitations on my life. I consider my books to be a gift to myself, and hopefully to my readers. It is one of my greatest wishes that readers young and old be able to enjoy and share my poems and writings.

As the author of course I'm going to give my book five stars. What parent doesn't boast that their baby is the most beautiful in the world? I enjoyed writing every one of the poems in this little volume. Not every poem will appeal to every reader, but I do hope that every reader finds something in this book that brings them pleasure. I wrote each of these poems for the joy of writing, and I hope my readers share a little of that happiness as they explore the poems themselves.

Quick and Cute
First of all a huge thanks to the author for sharing me the copy of her book and giving me the opportunity to get acquainted with her book
One thing you would notice in the book is that there is a strong graph of visible transition. You could actually see how each poem gets more and more creative and you could see a change in the tone and narration of each of these poems
The book consists of a multitude of poems and i love how it is a mixture of things that are both light and profound and even the profound poems are narrated in simpler form keeping the word"entertainment" in focus
I think the word "cute" describes the book more aptly.
If you love to read something that is very simple, entertaining, quick and lightens your mood then i think this is your book. I loved it for the fact that with a child like innocence to the poems, it instantly transitions and uplifts the reader's mood
Some of them are super cute nursery rhyme worthy and some of them were really hilarious maybe they way it rhymed or simply with what it said
I think it is a copy one should keep it to read for simply the fun of it
i really loved and found it to be super cute

March 24, 2017Quick and cute. "The Dog Failed to Eat my Homework" reminds me of Shel Silverstein. And "Cats" is just perfectly true! I would read more by the author.
I have to disclose, however, that I do know the author as a 'casual friend' here on goodreads, and therefore don't feel as if I can rate her book objectively.
