This book was a blast to read. The way the author made poems out of songs that we grew up on, you can easily get lost in this book. Instead of this being a book you just read, you always catch yourself singing along.

My impression on this book was that I loved it. I was very involved while singing along with the poems. This book would be one of the first i would recommend to other people.

To use this in a classroom would be easy for me. After reading the poems with the children, I would have copies of everything to pass out so they could sing along. I would stand in front of them with my guitar and play while they sing. ( )
