Description:

Poems that rhyme chorus with tyrannosaurus, ask whether tarantulas shampoo the hair on their legs, and describe a girl who turns into a human pickle... What's not to love? In this boisterous collection of verses by 23 new poets who won a nationwide contest, silliness reigns supreme:
I'm feeling quite froggy
'Cause the ground is so soggy.
It has rained every day for a week!
My skin's turning green
Flies look yummy to me,
And I'm starting to croak when I speak!
Cartoony illustrations by Chris L. Demarest (Firefighters A to Z) are as much fun as the poems, featuring wild-haired children, greedy dragons, mooses and gooses (or is it meese and geese?), and a whole lot of verse-inspired bedlam. Readers of all ages will fall on the floor in giggle-fits--and then they might just pick up a pen and try a little creative versifying themselves. (Ages 4 to 8) --Emilie Coulter
