"A superbly noisy celebration of language that’s sure to convert even the most reluctant poetry readers." — Booklist (starred review)

The creators of A Poke in the I and A Kick in the Head complete a triplet with this collection of lively rhymes and tricky tongue twisters, poems for more than one voice, bilingual poems and poems that just may inspire kids to memorize them.
