Such a Classic! April 15, 2008
I loved this book when I was a child and still do. My kids really like it too. The only thing I want to note, being a mother of two young kids (2 and 4) is that the pictures and some of the content can be just the tiniest bit harsh for the really young ones. Of course, when we were kids it wouldn't even be thought twice about; but, it's a little different now and some parents are worried about such things. That aside...buy the book!
Doesn't get better April 9, 2008
My father read this to me as a child. I begged for it every night. He had voices for many of the characters. I still read them with a hint of his voice and with his rhythm. I share them with my students on a regular basis. I just can't wait to share them with my own kids. Even better... I can't wait for them to hear their grandpa read them to them. It really just doesn't get better.
very happy.... April 6, 2008
i find that the book came in a timely manner, it was well protected. as for the book nothing could be better than it...
Still fun to read February 9, 2008
I remember reading this book as a child and was excited to get it for my own children to enjoy. The poems are silly and creative with great pictures. It's nice because you can only read a few at a time to sneak in some reading to the day. My 18 month old likes the rhyming words and my 3 year old likes the funny stories. I know they will continue to grow into this book and hopefully read the stories themselves when they get older. A must have for any child's library.
a gem for teaching ESL February 8, 2008
i grew up on these poems and never forgot them. when i started teaching esl, i realized that they are a treasure-trove. the illustrations aid with interpretation, the rhymes aid with pronunciation, the poems are exceedingly fun, and the grammatical games and made-up words can be used as teaching tools. there are poems for all levels, from the basic lazy-lazy-lazy-lazy jane to the advanced stories like the one about the girl who dies because her parents don't give her a horse (these poems may be in another of shel's collections, i can't keep track). teachers of ESL, give it a go, you won't be disappointed.
