Afloat with a Musical Goat: And Other Silly Limericks for Kids

Afloat with a Musical Goat and Other Silly Limericks for Kids is a collection of 24 illustrated limericks that will delight children and adults alike. Each limerick is a five-line poem that tells a story in 34 syllables and rolls off the tongue in a rhythmic rock-n-roll. You’ll meet healthy Louise who ate spinach and peas and Patty the cat who found a big rat. You’ll see tigers with visors and kites taking flight, and a farmer who sneezed, blowing the leaves from the trees. Join the fun!
