Really silly rhymes and good rhythm.
LibraryThing member wroesch
This book has some cute line drawings in it but is mostly all about the poetry. I have to say that I could find better funny poetry than this but it is good for a chukle or two. They would be better for the kids but not for mine which are all about the pictures.

Summary:
My favorite two poems are "Why my homework is missing and Funny Honey". The poetry in this book is meant to make the children laugh but yet get a great funny visual in their heads.
Reaction:
Loved the book. Could have had better cover. The pictures on the inside look as though they were done
Classroom extension:
1. Write poems
2. Picture and poem does it work? Teaching kids to write relevant poems with relevant pictures.
3. Creating a cove
