Reviews

[Kristin · Rating 4 out of 5]

A quick read, humorous rhyming poetry for kids, of the silly and often nonsensical sort. A lot of the humor relies on wordplay (which I love) so I bet some goes over the heads of younger readers. I agree with my son that the zebra poem (not a wordplay piece) is one of the best. And there are a couple of sort of real-life “issue” pieces that are good, too! My kids are reading these on their own on kindle but they’d be fun read-alouds!
