5.0 out of 5 stars
Just plain GREAT--and I'm picky!,
By Nancy (West Coast FL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dirt on My Shirt (Hardcover)
My kids are still small, and I've wanted to introduce them more to rhyme and poetry. But I feel that most kids' poetry books are somehow over their heads, or they're just not big enough yet. My big girl is 7. I happened to run into this one today, and WOW, I thought the subject matter had such kid appeal, really sweet and kind, light, funny stuff (and not disgusting either!). So kudos to Jeff Foxworthy, hat's off to you, I didn't know you had this in you too. Illustrations great too. Hope you do some more!

This book is everything you need in a childrens book. It's silly, funny, and the poems are not too long. Really great for children and adults.

This review is from: Dirt on My Shirt (Hardcover)
This kids' poetry book is worth buying for the fluid illustrations, but the poems are a bit uninspired. One called "Sharing a Bed" reads: "Sharing a bed with your cousins, Is not the easiest thing, They toss and they turn, They giggle and snore, And sometimes, They just like to sing."Nothing wrong with that, but it's no Dr. Seuss or Shel Silverstein. But back to the art. Every page has a colorful pen-and-ink over watercolor that tells a story. A double-spread painting for "What Do You See?" includes a list of 33 things to search for. Another of "Uncle Keith" eating corn on the cob has him munching so fast he's a blur. For more creative wordplay, check out Silverstein's Where the Sidewalk Ends as well as that late author's "new" title Don't Bump the Glump!. Also great: Most any of the Skippyjon Jones titles or these Seuss classics: There's a Wocket in My Pocket! Dr. Seuss's Book of Ridiculous Rhymes Mr. Brown Can Moo, Can You : Dr. Seuss's Book of Wonderful Noises
