Customer Reviews

wonderful, wonderful book!

This volume is a collection of comic, cute, and ironic poems and stories that are great for young and old! You can read about boys who own hippopotomi,chivalrous sharks, doctors who doctor doctors, and much more. This is a must for new parents - great for teens, too (I've used it often for forensics and play auditions). It's worth whatever price you pay. Get it!

This is a trove of funny stories and lessons for kids.

This book collects together classic stories like "Alice in Wonderland," along with more obscure stories and lots of entertaining poetry. Writing is on a level that children can easily appreciate, but much of the humor can be appreciated by adults as well. It's a slightly off-the-wall way to get kids interested in reading and learning, and it's fun for parents and their audience!
