First of all the illustration on the front of the book makes me laugh with the boy having the huge candy in his mouth and it made me want to know more. I noticed a nice smoothness to the pages and it really flows to the next one. Each of the poems come with a funny cartoon that really brings you in.The book really makes you be entertained and make you laugh. The author does a great job of creating books like these that make light out of human things. The short poems are comic and make it fun for the readers. If you want or make it a goal to have poetry in your classroom then I would use this book to introduce poetry to kids.It is funny to the point that adult laugh with the kids.
