I highly recommend this book for young readers.

Though I am now 32 years old and have 4 children of my own, I can still remember reading this book in Elementary school. My favorite poem at the time was "Eat it all Elaine," and I can still quote some of the verses! I'll be adding this book to my reminder list for sure so I can share the wonderful poems in this volume with my children.
