Industry Reviews K-Gr 3-This collection serves up more of the same fare as Prelutsky's For Laughing Out Loud... (Knopf, 1991): silly rhymes and nonsense poems drawn from a wide variety of children's authors. Unfortunately, the quality of the selections also varies a lot. Priceman's elongated watercolor cartoons decorate the pages and reinforce the humor. While this book offers an acceptable addition to poetry shelves, it is not a first purchase. Sabrina L.
