Fun

This book could be enjoyed by both children and adults. Kennedy indulges his wicked sense of humor with this collection of tightly rhymed verses. Each poem is only 4-6 lines long, and tells the tale of some mischievous child and the outcomes that follow. An example: "At the laundromat Liz Meyer - Flung her brothers in the dryer. - Round and round they've whizzed for years, - Not yet dry behind the ears." Teachers may use these pithy gems to interest kids in poetry - everyone loves to laugh!
