[Whitney Strickland · Rating 3 out of 5]

Poetry on Wheels is a collection of poems about cars, buses, dump trucks, you name it! This is a fun book and a nice addition to add to the classroom. I will say that the book is older and one can find poems in here that their parents heard as kids. Nice to have but I would not put it in the same category with Shel Silverstein's creative poetry.
