Reach for this book when your child is stuck in a reading rut and needs to remember that language can be messy, hilarious, and unpredictable. It is the perfect antidote to overly serious literature, offering a playground of eighty-four poems that celebrate the absurdities of daily life and the wild leaps of a child's imagination. Through witty rhymes and gross-out humor, Brian Patten captures the rebellious spirit of childhood while expanding a reader's vocabulary and appreciation for wordplay. It is best suited for children ages 7 to 12 who enjoy a bit of mischief and are ready to see the world through a slightly distorted, comedic lens. Parents will appreciate how it encourages creative thinking and serves as a low-pressure entry point for reluctant readers who might find standard prose intimidating.
