(3) K-3 Poetry Adventures series. Illustrated by Andy Rowland. After a simple description of the form and its "few simple rules," this volume introduces young readers to the limerick with twenty-six silly, kid-friendly examples ("'Ahoy!' said a pirate named MARRRRty, / who was fun loving, healthy, and heARRRRRty") that teachers will appreciate, too. Rowland's cartoons capably reflect the poems' form-appropriate slapstick absurdity. Reading list, websites.
