Fun for Everyone

I've read this book to my kids a 100 times. They love the stories and they think the pictures are great. I've bought other copies and given them to friends and they too think it's really fun to read. I'd definitely recommend this book!

A collection high-spirited, rollicking poems

Mama Likes To Mambo is a collection high-spirited, rollicking poems by Helaine Becker and features a variety of whimsical animal characters brought to life with carefree color illustrations by John Beder. The rhythm and cheer of the poems beg to be read aloud in this engaging book for young readers. Apple Pandowdy: Apple Pandowdy, my favorite dish/I like it far better than salted codfish/I like to eat mine with gobs of ice cream/And when it's all gone, I lick the bowl clean.
