My kids are still small, and I've wanted to introduce them more to rhyme and poetry. But I feel that most kids' poetry books are somehow over their heads, or they're just not big enough yet. My big girl is 7. I happened to run into this one today, and WOW, I thought the subject matter had such kid appeal, really sweet and kind, light, funny stuff (and not disgusting either!). So kudos to Jeff Foxworthy, hat's off to you, I didn't know you had this in you too. Illustrations great too. Hope you do some more!
This book is everything you need in a childrens book. It's silly, funny, and the poems are not too long. Really great for children and adults.
Jeff Foxworthy doesn't disappoint with his humorous poetry. Both great for children ages 4-8 and adults too, each verse takes a different twist on things we come in contact with everyday, from dirt on your shirt to -are we there yet?, hide-and-seek, friends, uninvited guests, wishing and fishing, noises, and snakes. As always, Jeff has to bring his family into the picture making fun of relatives from Grandma, Grandaddy, Uncles, Aunties, and Cousins which will sure to make kids grin. A wonderful way to introduce young children to poetry. They are sure to want to read it over, and over, and over again! (In addition, the pictures are outstanding and fun, too!)
My 5 year old boy absolutely loves this book of silly poems. We home school so I Iike to get creative with my son. Each week he picks out a poem and together we choose 6 words to use as spelling words. 3 easier words that he can sound out and 3 more difficult words. Everyday he writes those words and reads the poem. By Friday he has it memorized and has learned 6 words, while having fun! The poems are funny and provide good laughs for this family of 4 young boys!
I am a children's book enthusiast. My 3 year old son has hundreds of books on his shelf mostly bought here on (great prices AND great service). My husband, son and I love this book. It is just so clever and a really fun bedtime read!
I bought this for my 3 year old grandson. I read it before I gave it to my grandson, naturally. I loved it. The verses so much like a little boy. Mr Foxworthy definitely remembers what it is like to be a child, a real boy and put it in short appropriate verse and subject matter. The topics were those of a boy. I was charmed with the title and then with the poems. Reminds me of my grandson and how much of a true "boy" he really is.
My boys and I love this book and I frequently gift it to new parents. It's a perfect choice for young kids and the parents that read to them. You can chose to read through, the parents "long" version, or simply pick a few quick favorites.
This kids' poetry book is worth buying for the fluid illustrations, but the poems are a bit uninspired. One called "Sharing a Bed" reads: "Sharing a bed with your cousins, Is not the easiest thing, They toss and they turn, They giggle and snore, And sometimes, They just like to sing."Nothing wrong with that, but it's no Dr. Seuss or Shel Silverstein.But back to the art. Every page has a colorful pen-and-ink over watercolor that tells a story. A double-spread painting for "What Do You See?" includes a list of 33 things to search for. Another of "Uncle Keith" eating corn on the cob has him munching so fast he's a blur.For more creative wordplay, check out Silverstein's Where the Sidewalk Ends as well as that late author's "new" title Don't Bump the Glump!.Also great: Most any of the Skippyjon Jones titles or these Seuss classics:There's a Wocket in My Pocket! Dr. Seuss's Book of Ridiculous RhymesMr. Brown Can Moo, Can You : Dr. Seuss's Book of Wonderful Noises
