De sprookjesschrijver - Georgien Overwater. ( )

A delightful collection of a dozen fun, whimsical poems wonderfully complemented with colorful, surreal illustrations. Originally published in The Netherlands. ( )

The illustrations in this book make it worth picking up. The pictures are brightly colored and fanciful. However, the poetry does not flow well probably because of being translated into English. The author is a celebrated Dutch writer, but the poems were a miss for me- except for "Belinda Hated Getting Clean." ( )

This is a beautiful collection of children's poetry. I sat and read it aloud with a group of students, and they were delighted. I can't think of a higher recommendation than that! The art work is beautiful and truly compliments the unique verse. I am thrilled that I own this! ( )

More Shel Siverstein than Dr. Seuss, this collection of short stories-in-verse tells of truculent children, eccentric adults, and exotic animals. The silly situations are delightfully illustrated, with each poem on a colorful two-page spread. This should be enjoyable for all ages.
