Kids will love it

 

 

Book review:

Sad underwear and other complications

by Judith Viorst (b1931)

New York: Atheneum Books for Young Readers, Simon & Schuster, 1995

78 pages

 

This is a great book of great poems that will make little kids laugh, and make big kids laugh, and make parents laugh.

Such as:

 

The Seventh Swimming Lesson

 

Stop the presses.

Call a reporter.

Sally just put her face in the water.

 

How do I know it’s a great book? I’m a grandfather, and it makes me laugh.
