good - Katrina

Fanciful, humorous verse told about various places (the majority in the USA). Wonderful illustrations. ( )

This book is about random nonsensical things that are put into poems. They don’t have any real meaning to them and some of the poems rhyme. I didn’t like this book because most of the poems didn’t have a clear theme or meaning for them but, the artwork was really nice. ( )

I enjoyed reading this poetry book for many reasons. First, the poems aren't your typical poems. They are funny, full of rhymes and sometimes make you scratch your head. For example, there is a poem about the "poor potatoes" underground. I have never read a poem about potatoes but it sure made me wonder about them after reading it! Second, the illustrations are beautifully drawn. For example, they are colorful, eye catching, and drawn with bright colors to make the reader stay interested. I think the overall message of this book is about animals, friendship and diversity. Each poem brings a unique aspect that makes the book fun to read. ( )

This is a book with several short poems. Most of them have to do with cities, towns, or states.

I found this book to have an older nursery rhyme look to it and it was a little difficult to read. Some of the poems were cute but overall I did not really care for the book.

This book could be used to introduce children to poetry and possibly have them try to come up with some poems of their own. ( )
