"There are very few books that I actually want to BUY (why buy if you can get them at the library?), but I am saving up for this one. It is amazing. Poems span from Broadway songs to Blake. The illustrations are entertaining and each poem has a wonderful rhythmic pop that makes storytime so much fun."
