Recently purchased and returned "Bing Bang Boing" and "Laugh-eteria". These were returned because of poems such as "They Put Me in the Stupid Class" and "Genny Glubber" which tells of all the things wrong with a 'fat like blubber' girl with a 'face that leaves people panic-stricken' but in the end says 'how I love her.' This is not to say that all of the poems in these two books are like this, and many are quite fun. My suggestion is to look at his other books (which I have purchased) such as "Lizards, Frogs & Polliwogs", "Beast Feast" and "Insectlopedia". In addition, another fun book is "Summersaults" which is a great series of poems about summer. You will not be disappointed by any of these purchases.

This is a great book of poetry to have in a classroom! My 6th graders love it and so do I! My children's lit. professor recommended it as a must have when building a classroom library of poetry books and I agree!

Douglas Florian writes about all sorts of things in his poems: anacondas, squares, elephants wearing pants, and much, much, more! His poems take all different shapes and sizes too: circles, squares, people, and many other fun shapes. If you like to read nonsense poems, you'll absolutely love this book. Bing Bang Boing is good for grades 2-4.

Bought Bing Bang Boing book and say, Badda Bing!! Great service, good product and speedy service! thanks

I liked this book and thought it had some good poems like Chess Mess and Melt Down.
