Review:

"Children are not naturally drawn to poetry but this hilarious collection will bring down the elementary school house...The illustrations have a sophistication both parent and child will adore" -USA Today

"With artwork as kinetic and multicolored as the graphics on "Nickelodeon," this volume will appeal to those who appreciate the anything-can-happen environment of Miss Nelson's classroom or the magic School Bus." -Kirkus Reviews
