This book of poems has something for everyone. It has poems that are quiet funny and some serious. The girl who eats a whale. The crocodile who goes to the dentist, then eats the dentist while he is doing the exam. I liked the one about the wrens living on top the boys head in the hat. The hippo sandwich was cute too.  It is a really great book of Poems. There is a reason is is on a lot of list for being a one of the best books. It has also been in publication for over 40years.
