A good small collection of poems for the young reader. All the poems center around school. At first my impression was that many of the poems were sort of negative, about how to hate school but then I saw that the message that was being conveyed was more like trying to relate to the student and the trials and hassles they go through on a day to day.

I kind of wish that there were more forms of poetry introduced, like a Haiku, for example, instead of just the standard meter and rhyme, but then I realize that this book tries to reach out to as young an audience as possible.

This is a decent little book with poetry that will make you chuckle and remember the days when you were in school. It is a good read. ( )
