Title: Ha!
Review: I have a middle-grades child who is almost completely resistant to language arts. If he catches a whiff, he transforms into Surly Man. And yet, it must be tackled.A book like this one, or Jon Agee's "Orangutan Tongs"Orangutan Tongs: Poems to Tangle Your Tongueor Adam Rex's "Frankenstein Makes a Sandwich"Frankenstein Makes a Sandwichcan get a child this age over the hump and help him get into the poetry side of things. Also try "A Light in the Attic"A Light in the Atticor "Runny Babbit"Runny Babbit: A Billy Sookby Shel Silverstein.The book is funny and gross and perfect for a big kid who Just. Doesn't. Want. To. Learn. About. Iambic. Pentameter. Or sonnets. Limericks. Etc.Give it a try.
