I really liked this poem book. There are a lot of poems but some of the ones that I read were good and silly. I think maybe a first grader would be able to follow along with no issues. These poems are pretty long. They have good illustrations with every poem passage. It has really good children literature for sure. Good tongue twisters too. ( )

A poetry book that has it all! There are poems for all different interest levels from people, jellyfish, dinosaurs and bizarre creatures. Elementary students will find these poems easy to read, silly and playful. There are around 100 poems in this book and some have illustrations too. Read this book to enjoy fun word play and laugh.

New Kid on the block, is a book full of many different poems. This book could be used in a classroom to showcase different types of poems.

Just perfect for reading aloud. Most all ages can get a laugh from the skillful word weaving in these poems. A very happy book! ( )
