Customer Reviews

This book is a must

This book was a staple from my childhood, andI highly recommend it as a classic to be included inany collection of children's books. No childshould have to go through life never hearingabout Daddy Fixing Breakfast. ...

You Read to Me

This is the most marvelous book. I received it as a gift in 1968 when I was 7 years old and I'm still reading it at 40. My dad heard Ciardi speak at Rutgers and was mesmorized. Definitely buy this book for your children (or as a guilty pleasure for yourself).

The best children's poetry book (just learning to read & on)

This book of enjoyable, amusing, and well made poetry alternates poems to be read by adults to children with poems to be read by children to adults. Since I was 8 I've loved it, my child now gives it as a gift at every birthday party

Ciardi does it again!

I have been a fan of John Ciardi since first grade, and now my students love to read his work. This poem collection is no exception. I encourage all poetry lovers to read it!
