Reviews
Kenn Nesbitt, Children's Poet Laureate
“Get your pencils out! Brian P. Cleary makes writing limericks easy enough for anyone. I wish I’d had this book when I was a kid; I would have started writing poems a lot sooner.” —Kenn Nesbitt, Children’s Poet Laureate
Booklist
“Steering artfully away from content either raunchy or banal, Cleary offers a sampler of 26 original limericks animated by puns and wordplay.”―Booklist
Kirkus Reviews
“[Cleary] continues his light romp through poetic forms in the third installment of the Poetry Adventures series…this time focusing on a cornerstone of the nonsense verse world that seems made for him: the limerick. Inviting illustrations and offbeat topics showcase limericks aplenty for amusement or poetic inspiration.”―Kirkus Reviews
School Library Journal
“An amusing, whimsical flavor runs through all of the selections here, and cute, colorful cartoon drawings accompany each offering, making this a wonderfully ridiculous collection.”—School Library Journal
