From Booklist
From Hippopotabus and circul8 to Cucumbersome, puns are a big part of the fun in this wry collection of nonsense verse by U.S. Children’s Poet Laureate Lewis. Kids will love the wordplay and silliness that extend through rhyme and colloquial phrases: I flew a mammoth jet that’s how / I learned to dino-soar. With each short verse, the line drawings add to the farce and uproar: the words of a trail of crumbs twirl across the page, for example. Young kids won’t get all the allusions (When Billy met Ginny), but there is a lot here to make them laugh and look again at the sound and meaning of what they take for granted. One of the best poems is The Impossibles, with a quiet twist about giving up on trying to reach Forever and settling for Now and Then. A great choice for sharing across the curriculum. Grades 2-5. --Hazel Rochman
