The twenty-nine humorous poems in this collection, by a variety of poets, cover topics such as horrid vegetables, rumbling sounds in the attic, a man no one can see, and a birthday-party invitation that arrives late. The poems have strong rhythms and engaging rhymes, and Demarest's cartoonlike pen-and-ink and watercolor illustrations add to the fun.
