Summary- This book is a compilation of nonsense verses and nursery rhymes. They are all crazy and fun tongue twisters for kids to listen to or read themselves. This book of poems is a fun way to get kids to read because it does not seem like they are learning but the amount of information they are taking in is significant.
Extension Activity- Have the kids write their own non-sense poem and share it out loud with the class. To warm them up go through and practice a few fun tongue twisters with the class.
