summermsmith's review against another edition
4.0
This was another selection for daily poems for school. We liked this as a whole more than Eugene Child. I am thinking about choosing a couple of these poems next year for recitation. Riley puts humor in the poems that is elevated from potty humor and gives the kids the benefit-of-the-doubt for knowing this and laughing. The Bear Story poem was absolutely hilarious to Grayson he was cracking up so much I had to stop and let him recover to continue!
The one demerit I will give this, and thus the four star and not the five star rating, is that I had to read it aloud, specifically for the Hoosier Indiana accent, which he wrote well, but man was it a bugger to read audibly! And I lived there for four years and was familiar with this dialect. You’d think it would be easy; it was an exercise in being impervious!
