Review: What a FUN idea! This book would make a great jumping off point for a grammar school poetry unit (April is National Poetry Month!), with its short and funny poems and its clever pet perspectives. I wish Amazon did one of those "see inside" things for this book, because the cover doesn't even do it justice (altough it IS what drew me to it on the shelf) -- inside: timeless photos of un-model-looking kids and cool animals, and a crisp layout that reflects and enhances the lightness and joy of the poems.
