My Hippo Has the Hiccups and Other Poems I Totally Made Up

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Ethan Long. From a boy who's disappointed with his pet banana to a fisherman who goes home to his wife after a fish grants his wish--for a wife--these poems, with strong rhythms and clever rhymes, are fun to read aloud. Long's black-and-white drawings match the tone, but the pages without art are too dull. Nesbitt reads some of his poems on an accompanying CD.
