Grade 1-4-- Snappy would best describe this collection of food-related poems; in fact, there's not a soggy one in the bunch. Pulled in by a favorite subject, kids will encounter many styles of poetry, from quick blasts of Ogden Nash silliness to longer light contemplations, such as Aileen Fisher's funny fruit analysis, ``Skins.'' There are noisy poems that rattle with familiar sounds; shaped poems; delicious poems (``Fudge!'' by Jack Prelutsky, whose title tells it all; and disgusting poems (``The Meal'' by Karla Kuskin, in which the diner eats two cups of ketchup, a prune and a pickle as only a part of his meal). The representation of poets is impressive. All selections are attractively presented on the page with plenty of white space, and complemented by Demarest's lively pen-and-watercolor illustrations. An appealing anthology to whet children's appetites for poetry and to indulge fans of food and fun. --Lee Bock, Brown County Public Libraries, Green Bay, WI6
