LITERATURE
Rosenthal, Amy Krouse

The Wonder Book

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Paul Schmid. Two things are certain about this uneven assemblage of silly and sometimes subversive poems, palindromes, puns, lists, and random observations. One, kids will like it. Two, ditties like "Tinkle / Tinkle / In the sea / Don't look under / While I pee..." will draw comparisons to Shel Silverstein's work. Expressive black line drawings are a perfect, punchy counterpart to Rosenthal's verbal humor and horseplay.
