Kids Pick the Funniest Poems Selected by Bruce Lansky This review is written by Caleb (Age 9.)Stockbridge Central School (5 stars.) There are a lot of various poets in this book, I can't name them all of them, but I can tell you two of them are great! My #1 favorite poem is "Help Wanted" by Timothy Tocher. The poem is about Santa needing new reindeer. The first bunch has grown old and has problems like arthritis and not liking the cold. My #2 favorite poem is "The Student's Prayer" by Kalli Dakos. I think it is funny for a kid to pray to pass tomorrows test. I recommend this book kids who like humorous poems!!!!

Kids INDEED pick the funniest poems.

This collection of poetry should be in every elementary classroom and should be read aloud to the students. This book has never failed to help me get the attention of my students, they like it and I like it too. This book covers many subjects kids need to address in school and in life.

As a No.1 fan of Bruce lansky, I LOVE this book. the poems in it was not only funny and humorous, but also very inspiring. Unfortunately, I am not able to purchase such a book as there aren't any copies in Hong Kong except in the library in the city. I hoe that there will be more of your books sent to Hong Kong so as to let more of us Hong Kong people to know more about you and enjoy the joy of reading poetry!
