Little Kid Reaction

I picked the book for my daughter and we read this several times. She laughed and enjoyed the different poems. She liked the illustrations and how they worked with the poetry. She wanted to go write a poem herself after reading this.

Parent Reaction

I enjoyed the pictures. Some of the poems were silly but I am an adult so I think that made a difference in how they are viewed. I enjoyed watching her laugh and re-read them.
