I can't believe this only has one review!
I cannot praise this book highly enough. I ADORED this book as a child; along with "Where the Sidewalk Ends", which was the book all the cool kids had in my second-grade class.
Perhaps its popularity is an American thing, but I loved the poems, especially the very silly rhymes. I can still recite bits of them to this day. Mother Goose had been surpassed in my young mind.
Now I am buying copies of everything ("A Light in the Attic" "Where the Sidewalk Ends" "The Giving Tree" "The Missing Piece and the Big O" etc) to read to my daughter even though she is just a baby.
