Fun, Lighthearted Poerty for Kids

Jeff Foxworthy doesn't disappoint with his humorous poetry. Both great for children ages 4-8 and adults too, each verse takes a different twist on things we come in contact with everyday, from dirt on your shirt to -are we there yet?, hide-and-seek, friends, uninvited guests, wishing and fishing, noises, and snakes. As always, Jeff has to bring his family into the picture making fun of relatives from Grandma, Grandaddy, Uncles, Aunties, and Cousins which will sure to make kids grin. A wonderful way to introduce young children to poetry. They are sure to want to read it over, and over, and over again! (In addition, the pictures are outstanding and fun, too!)

WOW!

This book is phenomenal. My students love it. They find the poems fun and easy to read. Every time I read it, I am surprised that it is Jeff Foxworthy. It is so kid friendly and engaging.

Dirt on My ShirtI bought this book as an Easter gift for my grandaughter, age 3. She loved it when I read it to her but I think as she grows older she will enjoy it more, especially when she comes to know who Jeff Foxworthy is.

Dirt is great!

This book is beautifully done and my grandson loved it. I surely hope Jeff does another. So simple yet elegant, for a Redneck even...

Artwork A, poems C

This kids' poetry book is worth buying for the fluid illustrations, but the poems are a bit uninspired. One called "Sharing a Bed" reads: "Sharing a bed with your cousins, Is not the easiest thing, They toss and they turn, They giggle and snore, And sometimes, They just like to sing."

Nothing wrong with that, but it's no Dr. Seuss or Shel Silverstein.

But back to the art. Every page has a colorful pen-and-ink over watercolor that tells a story. A double-spread painting for "What Do You See?" includes a list of 33 things to search for. Another of "Uncle Keith" eating corn on the cob has him munching so fast he's a blur.

For more creative wordplay, check out Silverstein's Where the Sidewalk Ends as well as that late author's "new" title Don't Bump the Glump!.

Also great: Most any of the Skippyjon Jones titles or these Seuss classics:
There's a Wocket in My Pocket! Dr. Seuss's Book of Ridiculous Rhymes
Mr. Brown Can Moo, Can You : Dr. Seuss's Book of Wonderful Noises
