Title: My Son's Got This Whole Book Memorized!
Review: I started reading this book to my son when he was 3. He is now 8 and still loves the book so much that he has memorized every poem in the book. He has also shared it in school. I think it is the imagery that got him the most. Classic poetry it is not - it is quite contemporary. That is what young kids love. The poetry made my son laugh and giggle. It also had quite a variety of "stories" so to speak. If you can get past the non-offensive use of the word "turd" in the first poem, you will be fine! As a first grade teacher, I have no problem explaining that while it is not a word that I want to hear from them, it is not considered profanity. It is along the lines of the word "stupid" in my mind.If it is captivating your audience that you want, this book of poems is sure to do it! Eventually, students will want to read these poems on their own!
