You Are What You.....:The Untied Shoelace & Other Revealing

As a parent, I try to find a variety of books to keep my nine year old son, Colton, interested in reading. I find myself choosing the classical books or ones that teach lessons about life. I'm certain my son is thrilled to have found a book that we can have fun with & makes us laugh out loud! This book is very playful & not just just for quiet reading time. The stories & pictures work extremely well together in bringing ideas to the reader they can relate in a wonderfully silly & witty way. WHEN YOUR PICKLE'S IN A PINCH is one of our favorites. If your kids like Shel Silverstein or Dr. Seuss you should really get this book!

You Are What You....The untied shoelace & other

My Kindergarten class is delighted with Alexander Jenny's wonderful poems. The children love the The untied shoelace and ask for Bodyworks over and over. They never tire of the fun poetry and neither do I. Linda

A fascinating and delightful colleciton of poems for kids.

You Are What You... is a fascinating and delightful collectionof children's poems with the theme of what makes us who we are. Thepoems are thematically divided into six sections: You Are Your Body; You Are Your Brain; You Are How You See The World; You Are How The World Sees You; You Are Part Of Something Bigger; and You Will Be. Something Called Biology: There's something called Biology/That, from an Acorn, makes a Tree/It knows the secret recipe/To Pea and Flea and Chimpanzee/It takes two parents - He + She -/And somehow almost magic'ly/Makes 1+ 1 add up to 3/But here's one thing that puzzles me:/What is the sum of Bird + Bee?
