Insects partying at an underground cabaret, a doomed friendship between a crocodile and a goldfish ("He sucked poor Goldie in his mouth and / GULP! / His friend was gone")--these are just two of the subjects portrayed in these peppy but unmemorable and sometimes awkward short poems. More satisfying is the colorful collage art featuring an assortment of quirky characters.
