Book Review : Childrens Poetry
No Perfect People, Please!
An illustrated collection of humorous poems about 26 children and their not-so-perfect personalities. Among the lavishly-colored children’s books, this book of verse stands out with its whimsical black and white drawings.From A-Z, each child has a funny tongue-twisting name that begins with a letter of the alphabet and reflects a personality trait-- from Adam Amazola’s Amazing Appetite to Zippy Zelda Zimmerman. Children will laugh out loud at how friends and family hilariously cope with their behavior.
An audio CD comes with the book with Asitimbay performing 11 of her poems. The funny accents and sound effects the author uses to characterize the children will help youngsters ages 6-12 identify with the unique children in the book.
