  • What do Rabbits Think?: and other fun poems for Kids

    Brian Reddin, Woody Fox

    Paperback (Mercier Press, Dec. 31, 2006)
    Poems that stick up for the little guy who never gets picked for the soccer team. From the serious (running away from home) to the surreal (two bits of sticky tape falling in love!), poems to make you smile! There's a guy in my class who says I'm dumb / Just because I'm no good at sums / But I can count to twenty / And I think that's plenty. Whenever people count their toes for fun / They always call me the baby one / And that just fills me full of rage / / Because all five of us are exactly the same age
