Good Books, Good Times! [paperback] selected by Lee Bennett Hopkins

This is a collection of children's poems that are delightful and funny. You will enjoy reading them as much as your child enjoys hearing them. Poetry is something every child should be able to experience and enjoy.
From School Library Journal: An appealing collection of diverse poems about books and reading. A few have already been anthologized, but the majority are from magazines or single-author collections. The selections range from hypnotic to humorous; all testify to the unique joys of reading. Simple enough for good readers in the primary grades, they will also be appreciated (perhaps on a different level) by older children and adults. Poems range in length from a few short lines ("An Historic Moment" by William J. Harris) to Jack Prelutsky's 16-liner, "I Met a Dragon Face to Face." Stevenson's double-page pastel watercolors add dimension to the poems without overwhelming the text and are full of clever details. If there is a running theme, it is best expressed in the book's final poem by Beverly McLoughland. "The biggest/ Surprise/ On the library shelf/ Is when you suddenly/ Find yourself/ Inside a book--/ (The hidden you)/ You wonder how/ The author knew." A superb choice for avowed book lovers as well as for reluctant readers. --Barbara S. McGinn, Oak Hill Elementary School, Severna Park, MD
