More copies of this ISBN:Dirt on My Shirtby Jeff Foxworthy
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:In this hilarious collection of poems, comedian Jeff Foxworthy creates a neighborhood filled with fun, family, friends, and more. Here you'll meet Cousin Lizzy, Uncle Ed and Aunt Foo Foo, cows with horns that don't go beep, dads in sweaters, also sheep. From the thrill of flying to the imaginary planet Woosocket to bonding with a friend over a shared hatred of spinach, these poems capture the very essence of being a kid. Filled with sly humor and always affectionate, Dirt on My Shirt is sure to delight kids, big and little, everywhere. Review:"The bestselling author of You Might Be a Redneck If... and the host of the TV show Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader? turns his hand to versifying with this innocuous collection of rhyming poems about ordinary childhood experiences: 'I like to play and splash and sing/ When I take my bath/ But it's the bubbles that I make myself/ That always make me laugh!' The humor stays mild-mannered and stresses the bonds of friendship and family, as in 'Friends,' which begins, 'Friends come in all colors/ And sizes and shapes/ Friends share their jump ropes/ And friends share their grapes.' Bjrkman (Aliens for Breakfast) punches up the text with plentiful illustrations in a cheery cartoon style. 'Friends,' for example, pairs with a picture of a grinning cat and dog, dressed up like pirates and together carrying a small treasure chest. A poem about sitting in a grandfather's lap gains interest when Bjrkman envisions it taking place in a small fishing boat, grandpa and grandson napping, a huge fish just about to bite on their line. As a bonus, a note at the front challenges readers to find the 30 creatures depicted in the book's most lavishly illustrated poem, aptly titled 'What Do You See?' Ages 4-7. (Mar.)"
