Funny preschool read -- nice update on old lady swallowing fly, with great rhymes.

A boy was born five minutes late. He continued to be late to everything and anything. He received much grief for always being late but in the end he ended up being just on time when he found the love of his life.
I would read this to any grade level. I would use this book to teach my students about the importance of patience and that everything happens for a reason.

This humorous book is a great introduction to silly rhymes for young children. The colorful pictures will get great laughs from anyone who reads it. The poems in this book will be read over and over, and enjoyed for years to come!
