I remember reading this as a child; hunting everywhere for it when someone else borrowed it in the library. I finally bought it; well it was a gift and till this day still makes me chuckle. The rhyme about Queen Elizabeth will always be my favourite.

I love this book of poetry! The illustrations are super cute and fun, and there are hundreds of different poems that could be used for just about anything!
