Customer Reviews

Thank you, Loris!

My favourite poem is entitled, "Too many Amandas" (I wonder why?) All of the poems in this book are fun and have a sing-song rhythm to them. You'll find yourself reciting them while doing something like chores! The poems all have a nice message for kids. This book reminded me of authors like Denis Lee and his Alligator Pie that I enjoyed when I was a kid. A wonderfully, fun book with lovely illustrations! Thank you, Loris!

32 rhythmic poems showcasing "kid friendly" topics

Wonderfully written and illustrated by Loris Lesynski, Nothing Beats A Pizza is a delightful collection of 32 rhythmic poems showcasing "kid friendly" topics ranging from eating a pizza to snowflakes. Ruby: Ruby wakes up full of pounce/and instantly begins to bounce:/playing catching growling chasing/darting jumping running racing,/skittering up and down the halls,/chewing shoes and bones and balls,/pretending a hat is an enemy rat,/shaking it, making it ragged and flat./Then suddenly--down on the floor she'll plop,/no pause at all between GO and STOP,/and right in the middle of a yap-yap-yap/she's sound asleep in an instant nap:/that's what puppies do. Highly recommended for family, school, and community library poetry collections for young readers, Nothing Beats A Pizza is also available in hardcover (1550377019, $18.95).
