A Funeral in the Bathroom: And Other School Bathroom Poems

48 pp. | Whitman | July, 2011 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8075-2675-0 $14.99
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Mark Beech. Forty-one short poems explore all the purposes of a school bathroom, including solitude, fish funerals, and...the obvious (non-graphically). The humorous poems tell basically the same joke, and the occasional serious ones feel out of place. Some of the pieces' rhymes and meter are forced. Frequent playful spot art finds variety in the single-scene setting.
