This book was the one I ordered, but the condition was not as good as I thought it would be. It said "Used-Good" but I feel like the condition was only "fair". I was replacing a school library book that my child lost and I was hoping to get a nicer copy for the school. But the book was the right one, and the shipping was quick.

5.0 out of 5 stars Saad's Talkaty Talker, November 21, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Busy Buzzing Bumblebees and Other Tongue Twisters (Library Binding)

A remarkable guy from Downtown, Known for reading his book upside down, Chose to stand on his head In his bed while he read And developed a permanet frown. A talkaty talker named Wade Took Tina to watch the parade, When he said, " Sweet miss-miss, Would you like a kiss-kiss?" She doused him with cold lemonade. A hot-air balloonist named Betty Flew over a sea of spagetti. It looked quite suspicious, But tasted delicious With Parameson cheese and confetti. There once was artist named Nallie, Who painted her cottage with jelly, And then on one shutter She spread peanut butter And slid down the stairs on her belly. A happy musican named Joe Went out play in the snow. He played up a storm To keep himself warm, While everyone shouted, "bravo!" A sleepy-time baby named Pammie Loves to sleep over with Grammie, Who bakes apple pies, And sings lullabies, And rocks her to sleep in her jammies.
