This book was super funny with funny illustrations to go with the poems. There were poems about a bunch of random things and they were all written by the same author so they are written in the same still of poetry. This would be fun to read one or two poems a day to the class during a week to get them interested in poetry.

Summary: This book is about the imaginary new technologies for everyday problems and their uses. The book tells about a shoe-finding machine, a vegie repellant spray, a forklift for tooth-fairies, a spider spotter, an extremely effective umbrella, and more--all in rhyming verse!

This book gave silly solutions and how to problem solve when dealing with real life situations.
