This anthology of poems contains limerick and free verse poems. Both boys and girls will like these poems. A few are geared for boys with a few disgusting facts like spleens and ice cream fountain mountains. The book also gives helpful hints to writing poems by Jon Scieszka that the reader can try. Also in the back of the book there is a page of basic poetic terms. What a great idea!

I liked all the poems in this book because they are short and easy to follow. I laughed at quite a few of these funny, and sometimes disgusting, poems.

This anthology of poems would be great to get students interested in poetry because they can relate to the poems. There are a few poems that I really like. One is the Vegetarian Poem where word play is used. For example, "Do you carrot all for me? My heart beets for you." the other one I really like and it reminds me of a few people called “Hi, How Are You Today?” where the person is complaining in every line and in the end says “Thanks for asking, how are you?”

This book is a nice collection of poems by different authors. The book is written in a kid-friendly manner, which also points out fun facts about the authors and their writing style. On page 31 of the book, Scieszka, has 'Some Basic Poetic Terms' using kid-friendly verbiage. 'Some Basic Poetic Terms' offers students a better understanding of poems. The back page cites the resources used to create this collection. This last page is a great way to show students how to site, and why citation is important.

In this book you find many poems and all of that stuff. It says it is written by Shel Silverstein but actually it is also written by Eve Merriam, Jack Prelutsky and many more authors. One of them is: I thought I'd win the spelling bee And get right to the top, But I started to spell banana And I didn't know when to stop. ( )
