From Organization / 国外机构评价: |
This collection showcases the work of 23 new poets who were chosen in a nationwide contest. Unfortunately, the rhythm in many of the poems sounds the same and the verses revisit well-trod themes such as wacky parents, improbable animals in inappropriate places and outlandish dietary requests. Demarest (Firefighters A to Z), too, uncharacteristically uninspired, usually opts for the most literal interpretation of each verse. However, youngsters new to the genre will appreciate the silliness and puns, and some of the poems stand out, such as Dave Crawley's "The Attic": "There's a rumble in the attic./ A grumble in the attic./ I fear I hear (it's very clear)/ A stumble in the attic." Robert Ora Thomas offers the tale of the multitasking "Billy Bupper" who likes to combine eating and playing. The boy dresses by putting various sandwich fixings in his clothing, "So when Billy does a somersault/ He also makes his lunch." In the accompanying illustration, one of Demarest's strongest, an arc of food rises above both the catapulted boy and the words of the poem. And in Andrea Perry's cheekily sacrilegious "Bedtime Prayer," the narrator beseeches God to "Deliver me, Lord, From car sickness, blisters, and cold sores, and then,/ Don't forget liver and onions. Amen." An entertaining diversion. Ages 3-7. |
Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
The subtitle -- Poems to Make You Laugh Out Loud -- says it all. These poems are funny! Much of the humor comes from food. We meet dining dragons, "Detestable Vegetables" and a kid who makes his lunch while doing gymnastics. Some of the giggles are accompanied by shivers, as in the delightfully spooky "The Attic." The humor is quite sophisticated in "Thoughts I was Thinking While Drinking My Juice," which explores the quirky way the English language works. This book offers laughter on every page for kids and the grownups who read to them! |
