Title: Not worth purchasing
Review: I purchased this book as a I began preparing a unit on poetry. I noticed that most of my books had very little that would interest any of my male students. The selections in this book are too cliche. It seems as though the author thought boys don't like poetry so lets compile a bunch of very short, simple poems that pertain to male topics like sports, little sisters, and not liking homework and then they'll read it. The poetry has little to no thought in it. At least they could be humourous, but they're not even that. I Never Said I Wasn't Difficult by Sara Holbrook or various other titles by Sara Holbrook would be much better choices.*Mr. Charles Ghigna and the Random House Company have been very accomodating to me and I appreciate their excellent customer service. The very graciously returned the book.
