This collection of silly poems written by comedian Foxworthy features thirty-four short rhyming verses that celebrate family, friendship, animals, and nature. The work is uneven; some rhymes are sprightly and creative while others are ponderous. Energetic cartoon illustrations do a good job of depicting simple vignettes that enliven the poems.

This second collection of humorous poems by comedian Foxworthy offers a trip down Silly Street, a "cool place" where one can attend a "flying squirrel circus," purchase a "big pony / That eats fried baloney," and watch "a pig that does flips on a green trampoline." Bright, colorful illustrations energize the playful collection.
