Summary: A collection of humorous poems by such authors as Jack Prelutsky, Shel Silverstein, and other lesser known poets.
Strengths: I like how each poem is divided into different categories in which the peom pertains to a specific category. Pictures that take over two pages relates to two seperate poems, but it brings both poems by a single picture. The illustrations are cute and can easily grab children's attention.
Concerns: Its very similar to Shel Silverstein even helping that some of his poems are in there. The title is misleading-the select poems that I read did not make me laugh out loud; it just brought a smile :)
Age level: Elementary(3-4) and Upper(5-6)
Classroom Use: Explaining that poems can be classified into categories
