A Classic

If you love poetry, fun, and are up for a laugh this book is for you! The poems are timeless, familiar, and remind you that being a kid is the best time of your life.

A GREAT BOOK OF OF POEMS

I loved the poems because they were wonderfly put together. My favorite chapter was:Three Queer Tales. Wonderful for ALL ages. One of my two favorite books of poems! You might need a good vocabulary to read it!!! It really gave me dreams!

Wonderful collection of little rhymes.

A fantastic collection of little rhymes, especially suited to read aloud to younger children. Also useful as a primer in poetry memorization. The simple texts speak directly to the soul.
