I Brought My Rat for Show-and-Tell: And Other Funny School Poems

48 pp. | Grosset | February, 2004 | Library ISBN 0-448-43490-3 $$13.89 | Paper ISBN 0-448-43364-8 $$3.99
(3) K-3 All Aboard Poetry Reader series. Illustrated by Melanie Siegel. A recipe for how to avoid homework, the teacher's directions for the class picture ("Uncross your eyes, Freddy"), and the principal's April Fool's joke all provide material for these pleasantly rhyming poems. Both the verses and the illustrations (the runaway rat of the title poem makes cameos throughout) use plenty of humor to appeal to beginning readers.
