Whimsy and humor characterize this collection of twenty five poems about everything and anything. There are fable-like spoofs, poems to ponder, poems that tell a story. Metre and rhythm are perfect for quiet listening and the subject matter may inspire the second or third grader to memorize a few for his own enjoyment. An excellent aid for the classroom teacher in introducing beginners to poetic variations.
