This is one of my all-time favorite children's books, and we have hundreds. I have bought at least 10 copies to give as children's gifts. I used this book in a 3rd grade library class to introduce the children to poetry. The poems are all funny and in good taste. A great read-aloud book. Both boys and girls begged to hear more poems and to take out poetry books by Jack Prelutsky.
Delightfully funny book for adults and children together!

This is a fun book with grandchildren. I have also read bits and pieces of this book with a group of adults who enjoyed it as much as I did. It's wonderful for reading and laughing out loud!!
