Tonia Smith-Kalouria (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: August 16, 2006

No sweat! Reading aloud rhythmic poetry gives one’s heart, lungs and brain a workout.

To give your brain and funny bone a workout, L is for Leech reveals a way to nail Osama that will leave you demanding: “When can we start?” D is for Hound Dog will amuse you at the fate of the Elvis clone’s perfect performance when judged by Idol’s beloved Simon Cowell.

Humorous double entendres run wild in: B is for Bison; E is for Electric Eel; R is for Reindeer and W is for Wolf.

“Tonia’s poems in this book that speak to the universal truths of love and devotion to our beloved dogs were especially meaningful to me,” says Emmy Award winning actress, talk-show host, designer and author, Linda Dano.

What a read! I found myself on an emotional roller coaster as I laughed my way through Donkey Ho-tay, Mr. Oxy Moron and a French-fried thief, then found myself nodding with grim-faced apperception at Predators & Packs. It brought to mind Ogden Nash and Morris Bishop with a little Mad Magazine thrown in. Delightfully bizarre! Try it with a well-shaken martini and extra olives. I hope this author writes AP Part II; I'll be buying.

Ms. Kalouria's writing not only touched my heart but my funny bone.
Wonderfully entertaining and truly calming it should be
read by everyone for a little vacation when their day seems
a little too hectic or humdrum. A fun gift to give friends and family to
lift their spirit!
