Laugh-Eteria Poems and Drawings

Florian's pithy poems echo playground chants (and sometimes, better yet, jeers) in their rhythmic recitability (so don't overlook readaloud possibilities for younger audiences as well), and his focus on orality and absurdity makes them thematically irresistible. The line drawings have a sophisticated quirkiness that will make the book legal tender for older kids, as they might get a particular kick out of teaching their innocent younger siblings some of the more raucous rhymes--encourage them if you dare.Florian, Douglas is the author of 'Laugh-Eteria Poems and Drawings' with ISBN 9780141309903 and ISBN 0141309903.
