This is a delightful book of poetry that I pretty much bought to indulge myself. At the time I didn't think that my son would really have a need for it, so I was thrilled when his 2nd grade teacher ended up assigning a book report to read an entire book of poetry and pick one that is your favorite.

The best aspect of the book is that it has good, old-fashioned BOY humor. My son pulls this off his shelf constantly, just to laugh at the pictures and re-read the goofiness.

This is one book that won't be going in the Garage Sale pile for a very long time!

This review first appeared in the "Ephrata (PA) Review."

Calamities every child can identify with-a friend moving away, homesickness at camp, not catching the fly ball that gives the other team the game-are bemoaned in this compendium of 14 light-hearted poems, each by a different poet.

The caricature illustrations are Calvinesque-little kids with big expressions, often bewildered or discomfited, on their faces.

This is a good book for kids who delight in words and who can identify with those awkward and awful moments of life. ... May they be few and far between!
