K-3All Aboard Poetry Reader series.
Illustrated by
Adrian Sinnott.
Five poems describe the making of grasshopper pie, a boy who does everything upside down, a sneezing elephant, a monster, and an alien who lands in a bowl of chicken soup. Although the poems are not distinguished, they are funny and don't talk down to children, making the collection useful for getting beginning readers interested in poetry. Pop-eyed cartoon illustrations extend the poems' tone.
