Great Poems for all Ages

I'm sure you've all heard of Shel Silverstein. If you haven't, here's some information. He's a poet. He writes REALLY funny poems for kids of all ages! He wrote this really good book of poems, called Runny Babbit. In these poems, Silverstein mixes up the first letters of two words that go together. For example, the main character's named Runny Babbit (Bunny Rabbit). Also, raw carrot would be caw rarrot. Chicken pox would be picken chox, and so on. It's a really great book for kids who like to make up funny jokes. It's also good for reading aloud to toddlers, and younger kids learning how to read. It's fun to mix up words. Trust me, this is a great book for everyone, no matter how old you are!
