Have not received!

Zero rating I never received this book.

Never received

Also in poor condition

The binding is broken, nevermind the random ink spots and rusty paperclip. The pages are already coming apart, so this is NOT a good copy.

Just keeps getting better !

I loved this book when I was a kid.. so I bought it for my 8 yr old son and he loves it too !

Funny poems!

What can I say, except my 10 year old fifth-grader who does not like to read much at all, enjoys reading this book of poems before going to bed each night. I am so grateful he enjoys reading them. I have read some of them outloud to him and they are funny, they ryhme and they have great imagination. If you have a child of any age, I recommend this book to expose him/her to the creative art of poetry and just because they're fun!

Great Book For All Ages

I have read this book so many times I can't even count, and it never seems to get old. This book is full of great poems written by a great poet. I have read every one of his books and they all are wonderful. I recommend this book to anyone at any age who enjoys a poetry.
