This is a book of fun poems for kids. They are all fun to read, and was enjoyed both by Liam (4 years old) and Henry (2 years old), though Henry did walk off towards the end. The poems are accompanied by fun illustrations, and is a good book to read.

When I was a kid my parents never read me books of poems, so I do find myself feeling a little uncomfortable with them. But Liam has found poems to be really fun and has continued to get a lot out of a previous poetry book that I reviewed Big Book of Verse for Aussie Kids by Jim Haynes. I’ve been surprised by how much he enjoys it, and even quotes poems in the bath to Henry (I recommend ‘Inky Pinky Ponky’). He thinks that it is HILARIOUS.

This book doesn’t have anything hilarious in it, but it is definitely fun and it will probably be reasonably popular with Liam.
