About the Author
Kenn Nesbitt wrote his first children's poem, "Scrawny, Tawny Skinner," in 1994, inspired by having dinner with a friend whose four-year-old daughter did everything she could to get out of eating her dinner! Since then, Kenn has written five books of humorous children's poetry. His poems have been included in many anthologies of humorous children's poetry, including If Kids Ruled the School and No More Homework! No More Tests!, on audio CDs and in textbooks. His poems have also been featured on the TV show Jack Hanna's Wildlife Adventures on The Family Channel. His website Poetry4kids.com is the number 2 website for children's poetry. Kenn lives in Spokane, WA with his wife and two children.

This review is from: When The Teacher Isn't Looking: And Other Funny School Poems (Paperback)
This little book is chalk full of high interest funny poems about school. The poems can be used as fluency intervention tools across the curriculum. I use the book to introduce a content unit or concept in almost every curriculum area. Of course it can be used to introduce poetry into curriculum areas. Too funny! There are so many funny poems I cannot choose a favorite.

My students love this book and other books authored by Ken Nesbitt. Good way to get kids' interest in poetry without scaring them off with the technical writing of poetry.

This review is from: When The Teacher Isn't Looking: And Other Funny School Poems (Paperback)
My daughter had the priviledge of meeting him and having him sign a book of hers so now she wants all of his books....even as a 6th grader. Easy reading for her, I think it just follows the memory of meeting him 2 years ago.
