A collection of humorous poems about family and a variety of daily experiences
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
For the lighter side of poetry listen to Michael Rosen and his wonderfully silly poems for children. Rosen makes fun of his own Briticisms in a program sure to delight families. R.F.W. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
Although both author and illustrator have been honored in Britain for their work for children, this all-new collection is a long way from the best work of either. Rosen's (We're Going on a Bear Hunt) free-verse poems range from nonsense rhymes ("Tiffy taffy toffee/ on the flee flo floor... Kiffy kaffy coffee/ in a mig mag mug") to prosy, four- or five-page monologues with nary an image. In "The Field Trip," for example, the narrator/teacher scolds, "All right/ as you know/ it was our plan to go out today-/ to the Science Museum... I saw that, Mark,/ I saw it./ Any more and you'll be out./ No trip, nothing." The so-called illustrations consist of a single monochrome drawing that is used as a border on every page; while the border design is detailed, the cumulative effect is numbing, as if the poems had been printed on a stack of stationery. All ages.
