Cora tosses her father's watch off the roof, Arch dips the dog in laundry starch, Hannah merrily quaffs some spot remover, and dozens more mischievous, pesky rogues do their misdeeds in raucous, hilarious verse.

-- Table of Poems from Poem Finder®
They're back--Lil and papa's dental drill, Brent in the cement, Trish with a jellyfish--along with 40 other little terrors, in a third collection of comic verse featuring kids we hope never to meet. Some come to bad ends (Abner, who ``doesn't blanch/At the rushing avalanche,'' or Will, who gets too involved with a sausage- making machine and becomes the ``wurst'' brat); but most just raise hell and laughter in these short poems marked by clever rhymes, extravagant alliteration, and goofy puns. To wit: ``In his rotted rowboat, Rip/Rowed right to the roaring lip/Of a raging cataract,/Up against a boulder cracked,/Bounced shrill shrieks off canyon walls--/How pride goes before a falls!'' Again, Watts' little b&w drawings catch the gleeful mayhem. (Poetry. 8-11) -- Copyright ©1993, Kirkus Associates, LP. All rights reserved.
