Synopsis:

This collection of 124 humorous and whimsical children's poems offers a lighthearted perspective of childhood in an up-beat tone. Over 100 black-and-white illustrations complement the poems, and challenging words are interspersed to expand young readers' vocabularies. Enter a world where a girl turns into a peanut butter-and-jelly sandwich and mice wear roller skates; follow a baseball on its unexpected trip; and discover the fiery effects of eating a chili pepper.
