Lets read some funny poems

Written: Jul 30 '01
Pros:alot of funny and great poems to read
Cons:they are in black and white no color
The Bottom Line: Bring a smile to your face with this book and others this Author writes

This another great Poem and photo book wrote by Shel Silverstein. He writes good books as far as I know this Author is one of the best authors that can get a smile on peoples faces when they read his books..

This book was wrote in the year of 1996 This author has wrote other great book like

Where the sidewalk ends, A Light in the Attic, The giving tree, And plus alot more.
I have been happy to read his books. Because all of them brings a smile to my face.

This book i am going to talk about is just one of the books he has wrote. He writes the poems and draws his own drawings in this book. Even tho the drawings are in black and white they are cool with the poems. in this book..

Poor Screaming Millie is just one of the unforgettable characters in this wondrous new book of poems and drawings. Here you will also meet Allison Beals and her twenty five eels:

Here is one of my favorite poem in this book---
EVERY LUNCH TIME::
I open my lunch box
Hopin to find a Sandwich an apple
Some cookies or cake
But there coiled and hissin
And set unwind
Is another big venomous,
Poisonous snake
Slitherin and squirmin
And hissin away
Leavin' me hungry as can be
It happens every single day
You think my mother's mad at me?

If you would like to find this poem you could find it in this book on page 96

There is over 100 black and white poems in this book with black and white drawings.

For information on Harper Collins Children books here is a address you could write to if you wanted to find more books by this publisher
Harper Collins Publishers Inc,
10 East 53rd Street
New York NY. 10002

Here is another poem I just ran across I thought was a funny one to share with you
Little HOARSE
My voice was raspy rough and cracked
I said I am a little hoarse
They stuck a saddle on my back
And jumped on me and now of course
they trot me and they gallop me
They Prance me up and down the town
Yellin Giddy up, little hoarse
{ Some things don't mean the way they sound}

I would say this book is good for a bed time story or just to read to kids so that you and the kids can laugh together..........

I would like to leave this small note with you
If you think I missspelled the words in the poems thats how the poem is wrote they write that way in the book. To make it look funny ok. So its not me doing my misspelled words again.....
