Illustrated by
Sachiko Yoshikawa.
This exclamation-point-heavy collection includes twenty-one silly poems loosely centered on school. Individual poems are great to read aloud, but not all in one sitting--you'd get a headache. Bright, colorful cartoony illustrations of deliriously happy kids and critters fit well with the energetic poems, although the frenetic design and multitude of typefaces make it difficult to focus on the text.
