Review
I love this book! It's laugh-out-loud funny and also true to kids' lives. The photographs are great! --Jean Marzollo, author of the ""I Spy"" series<br /><br />My 8 year old boy LOVED this book of laugh out loud poetry. Ted Scheu writes with the sense of humor that kids really connect with. Giggles galore! What a great introduction to poetry! My son read the entire book in two nights at bedtime, completely unprovoked by me! He would often call me into the room to share the poems as he read them out loud. This book is certainly worth the space on your bookshelf and would be a great addition to any classroom! --Satisfied Mom<br /><br />Ted Scheu is at it again. This fabulously funny amasser of children's poetry has given kids another reason to smile. And not just kids....their parents, too! The author's collected works, this being the latest, reflect a profound understanding of how the mind of a kid works. A true teacher, Ted Scheu is the best at his craft and I highly recommend ""I Froze My Mother"". P.S. Where to I get a pair of them goggles? --Jon Hunt ""musician, teacher
