Leland B. Jacobs put together several limerick and poetry books for kids. This one was published back in 1971. There are some famous poets included as well as poets that are recognizable from other children’s works.
All of them are fanciful and talk about the sky, stars, planets, planes, space, and spaceships. I’m sure it would appeal to younger children, especially those who love airplanes and space.
There are other books like this from Leland B. Jacobs. My favorite as a kid is called, ‘Funny Folks in Limerick Land.’ There are limericks in it that I still laugh about many decades later.
