EXCERPT:
"
Once, I laughed my socks off,
And they ran off down the street,
I caught them, but they wouldn't let me,
Put them on my feet,

They danced around behind me,
As I made my way back home,
They jumped and jived about the place,
They'd not leave me alone,

I went into the living room,
To sit and watch T.V.,
But they danced around in front of me;
I couldn't see the screen,

I tried to do the washing up,
But much to my surprise,
They jumped around inside the bowl,
And splashed me in the eyes,
"

- Once, I laughed my socks off
- Melvin the naughty teddy bear

3.0 out of 5 stars TINY book. December 19, 2012

The poems are alright, but the book is so tiny! It says 26 pages, when in reality there are maybe 16 pages of poems. Definitely not what i expected. =(

5.0 out of 5 stars Children Will Love These! January 9, 2012

I am not a poem person since I don't understand most of them but I loved the title and cover and it was free! These were really cute and I could picture what the different characters were doing while reading these poems. A couple reminded me of Dr. Seuss. Very cute and I think kids and adults will get a kick out of them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very good! January 9, 2012

By Lena Bowers

Format:Kindle Edition

I went ahead & gave this short, (& I do mean short), book 5 stars because the poems are great. They are about 3 to 5 pages long. Not the average 4~liners. I laughed a little expecially about the runaway socks, so I know my Goddaughter will fall out laughing. I used similar kid books, simple games, jokes, & etc. to entertain the whole family while the power was out one day, & it turned out to be so much fun, & a time of bonding. I will search for other books like this one to have on hand. I would pay up to about $1.50 for this one as is, but I'd pay $6.00 if it were longer. It is that good!
