The author-illustrator duo of Tedd Arnold and Bret Bagert have joined forces to bring us a comical collection of irreverent poems that examine the world the way only a child can. Stage fright, boogers and unpleasant smells, among other outrageous topics and characters (including the Giant Children of the title), take center stage in these poems that will have readers laughing out loud!

Giant Children is a hilarious book of poems about school aged children. The poems include topics about class pets, stage fright during a school play, stinky boys and boogers. The simple rhymes written by Brod Bagert along with the humorous illustrations by Tedd Arnold combine to create an engaging romp through common childhood experiences. This is a frequently requested book of poetry in my elementary school library. I highly recommend! ( )

Giant Children is a collection of witty, rhyming poems. The subjects are very relatable and kid friendly, including stinky diapers, boogers, and letters to the tooth fairy. The illustrations have Tedd Arnold's signature look of big googly eyes and scribble texture. The fun cartoon feel of the illustrations enhances the sarcastic humor of the poetry. ( )
