Playfully Humourous Poems for Children

Really risible rhymes for youngsters to read aloud and sing aloud!

Too Cute

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.

Fun, Lighthearted Poerty for Kids

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!)

Great book!

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.

Just plain GREAT--and I'm picky!

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!
