"I honestly can’t believe this was one of the books authors favorites. As far as I was concerned it was awful! I was almost bored to tears. There were only five I actually liked. I really liked What Night Would It Be? I really enjoyed the rhyme scheme and there were more pictures that were actually quite good. It was about Halloween, one of my favorite holidays. I also liked the poem called My Horse, Jack. The pictures were cool and the rhymes were pretty fun. It also had an interesting story. I really liked the last stanza of What Do You Think His Daddy Did? It reminded me of all of the times I did things I shouldn’t and got my but beat for it. Oh the fond memories! <br/><br/> ….I am her in my room and I can’t forget<br/>What Daddy said. Not a word of it.<br/>Forget? My goodness no! Not yet.<br/>So far I still can’t sit.<br/><br/>I also really What Did You Learn At The Zoo which was fun and entertaining and I could definitely relate to this poem. Other than those few poems, overall this poem book was very disappointing with boring pictures and repetitive poems.<br/>"
