We read a few poems from this for 'poetry study'. They were fun and each page has an illustration on it. After we read several pages we stopped (as we only do poetry for 10 minutes or so) and one of my sons said, "thank you for reading those nice, fun poems." Uh, you're welcome. I've read poetry to them for almost 2 years and they've never thanked me.
I'm not sure it it's the great illustrations or that they understand it better now or it's more modern or what. I'll cont...more

This is great to read to kids. It has many short stories that children can relate with. It has stories about their daily routines, relationships with certain people and other stories about animals, which are on the funnier side. The poems also have illustrations with it that go very well with the story the poems are trying to tell.
This fun book of children's poetry was a hit with our entire family. Themes of animals, word play, general silliness, imagination verses reality and childhood exploration abound in a sort of modern "Child's Garden of Verses" (Robert Louis Stevenson).
There was one verse that we will skip, Gorilla, which talks about the supposed relationship between man and gorillas, but this problem was confined to the one entry.

Children should be able to relate to and like all the silly poems within this book. The poems are about animals and about children experiences.
I would use this book to introduce any of my younger students K-2 to introduce a poetry lesson.

Still making our way through this one but has great, very fun poetry. I highly recommend it if you are interested in introducing rhyme and poetry to your kids. Shel silverstein silliness. Great!

This book was pretty entertaining, it the poems were funny and each page had a nice illustration on it. This book covers everything from bugs to sea animals such as whales. It also goes over childhood past times such as ice skating.
25 months - There are 100 poems in this book. Not all are amazing but there are certainly enough to make it worth the read. O decided she doesn't like poetry books so I've pulled a handful of the really fun ones and I will try to memorize them as this is how she likes poetry best. Just on the spot where ever and whenever.
This books of poems for kids was nice enough, but I think it lacked pizazz. Maybe I would have been better with a book of Shel Silverstein's poetry.
My 5-yr-old LOVES the poetry in this book! We would read a few pages each day, and he'd always want "just one more." A great collection for children!
cute poetry book. this and the real mother goose came with my homeschooling curriculum. this is the winner! it's cute and the poems make sense.
Great peoms, after the tradtions of classic fairy-tales but with whole new subjects. Great large colleciton.
These poems are all about animals. It would be great to use during down time or writing lessons.
My 3 boys love it. Ages 2-6.
This book has a great collection of poems for children.
MY children and I love this book. It has modern poems that are great for memorization and great for practicing speech. It is also just alot of fun to read!
I enjoyed this poetry book. I like that the poems rhyme and some are pretty funny.
Cute poems that we read to Emily.
Wonderful & whimsical!
This book of whimsical poems is part of A's homeschool curriculum. We're both enjoying the poetry & illustrations.
