Books with author T. Nat Fuller

T. W. Fuller is back with a fresh set of devilishly clever and witty poems for kids of all ages.

What happens to one unlucky child who has "The Itch", which never seems to stop itching? Or a brother who buys a jar of "Vanishing Cream" to scare his sister, only to realize things are not all as they seem? There's "Cloud Gazing" and "The Bargain Basement Sale", a poor little girl who's mother is so overprotective of her she will not let her go outside and play, instead telling her daughter to "Stay Inside Sally", and everyone's favorite topic for a poem, "The Underwear Poem".

All five children's poetry collections by T. W. Fuller combined into a single volume. Included are:"The Boy And The Rock"Set in the rhythmic style and tone of a Shel Silverstein story, "The Boy And The Rock" is a poetic lesson in stubbornness taken to an exaggerated extreme. Starting out with a young boy venturing from point "A" to point "B", he suddenly encounters a rather large rock that will not move out of his way so he can move along his journey. Neither the boy, nor the rock, will move out of the others way, creating a stale-mate that will last for many years as the young boy grows older, and grows more stubborn and more determined to stand his ground. And the rock, as well, in its own stubbornness, is weathered down over that long stretch of time, to the size of a pebble."The Boy And The Rock" teaches children how foolish being stubborn really is and how being stubborn for a very long time literally wastes and whittles away one's life to the point of nothingness. At the end, the reader is left with an important question to answer and an even more important decision to make. Namely - what is actually gained in being so stubborn? And, has it been worth the time involved to be so stubborn?"The Peanut Butter And Jelly And Cheddar Cheese Sandwich, And Other Selected Poems"Who's hungry for a peanut butter and jelly and cheddar cheese sandwich? Who wants to reach for the stars and beyond? Who has ever smelled an awful smelling flower? "The Peanut Butter And Jelly And Cheddar Cheese Sandwich" is volume one of a collection of children's poems by T. W. Fuller. In here you'll discover talking chairs, a pig in a poke, how to break the curse of the billy goat, what happens when you leap before you look, the loneliness of one person on a see-saw, and more!
