Great book Reviewer: Derrick Pohl from Vancouver, BC (pohl@interchange.ubc.ca) Date: 10/6/1999 6:30:53 PM Just a great book. Wonderful imagination, playful use of language, a celebration of the absurd and comical, but with plenty of touching moments and wisdom as well. Great for introducing children to the joy of poetry, which most kids don't hear a lot of.
