Good Sports: Rhymes about Running, Jumping, Throwing, and More by Jack Prelutsky

I needed a book of poetry for a challenge I'm part of... I could have chosen any book that features poetry... not necessarily a book of poetry. I'm a former educator who's taught grades pre-k through 4th. I remembered all those years ago how much my classes and I loved the poetry of both Shel Silverstein and Jack Prelutsky. So, going way back to my educational roots, I opted for a short book of children's poetry. Oh how this bought back memories for me. The fun of words in rhyme. The sweet simplicity of the words written to appeal to an innocent and pure mind - long before the world can interfere. For few minutes, I was a kid again. I'm so glad I opted for a children's book for this reading prompt in my challenge. Who says grown-ups have to read grown-up books? Thanks Mr. Prelutsky for making me smile today.
