Poetry Fun for Adults and Children Alike

If your child is turned off by most poetry, don't give up till you meet Jr.Kroll. He gets into all kinds of scrapes, some of them of his own making. Lots of funny twists to the stories. We've loved this book for 5 years now, and my boys, now 9 & 10, still choose it when they have to memorize/recite a work of poetry for class. Jr. Kroll is definetely a keeper!

This book grows on you!

We received this book as a gift when my daughter was two and ahalf and I thought it would be a long time before she'd enjoy sittingdown to read the clever but detailed poems. But just a short six months later she begs to have me read it. Just shows that you shouldn't underestimate what your child understands. And it is a relief as a parent/ reader to get such enjoyable material at bedtime!

Junior Kroll: Eloise for Boys

Finally, a sophisticated troublemaker who can keep pace with Kay Thompson's Eloise. This a fun and wonderful introduction for boys and girls to poetry!
