Celebrate Easter with a collection of funny and festive poems from the author of our hugely popular Kindergarten, Here I Come!D. J. Steinberg is back with more playful poems, and this time, they are all odes to Easter and springtime. From making an Easter bonnet to enjoying an egg-squisite Easter brunch, this book is a perfect gift to put in any child's Easter basket!
David "D.J." Steinberg is the author of nineteen published books for children that have sold more than 1.5 million copies to date, including USA Today bestseller Kindergarten, Here I Come; Grasshopper Pie and Other Poems; and his graphic novel series The Adventures of Daniel Boom AKA Loud Boy.
When he is not working on his books, he spends his days as an executive, producer, and artist on animated movies and TV shows. He currently oversees animation production for Nickelodeon.
When he is not writing books or playing animation executive, David's favorite job is husband and dad, with his wife and three favorite critics—er—sons in Los Angeles, California.
A couple of the poems are good: Spring Fling is chipper and fresh; My Chocolate Bunny is snappy and funny. The rest of the poems are clunky and/or forgettable.
The reason I'm giving one star is poor Bob the "classroom rabbit," pictured in a cage so tiny he can barely turn around in it, with nothing but a thin layer of straw. No water, toys, house, bed, or food for the poor creature (straw is not rabbit food!). Worst of all, apparently this rabbit is abandoned at the school every weekend? Rabbits are social animals. They need attention, entertainment, vet care, and companionship. What's shown in this children's book is animal cruelty. Not okay.
This is a cute little book with poems about Easter. I think my granddaughters will like the sticker sheet with colorful Easter stickers. I am mailing it now.
