Reviews
Grade 2-4-- What do kids think about, complain about, worry about, and laugh about more than anything else? School, and in this collection of poetry, they'll enjoy reading about it. All the expected subjects are here with unexpected twists: cursive writing ("Who dreams up these curlicues?"); catching the bus ("Scads of time/ What's the fuss? Two to dress/ One to flush,"); school lunches ("The applesauce is a watery/ Goo/ But suck it right down 'cause it's good/ For you."). "My Excuse" is a wild explanation addressed to a teacher recounting the "true" fate of a child's homework. "Bobby Gene McQuig" may be a little gross for most adult tastes, but children will get a charge out of this obnoxious boy whose finger gets stuck up his nose. There's plenty of white space to set off each of the poems, and the large print is ideal for beginning readers. Also appealing are Lewin's watercolor/felt marker illustrations that capture the lively, outrageous subjects visually. Reminiscent of the styles of Prelutsky and Silverstein, this book will not collect dust on library shelves. --Lee Bock, Brown County Public Libraries, Green Bay, WI
