Review
"Accompanied by Koren's impish, characteristically furry caricatures, Katz's comedic poems take aim at familiar experiences like family squabbling and avoiding homework, while offering child-centric observations about the world."andlt;BRandgt; --andlt;iandgt;Publishers Weeklyandlt;/iandgt;, July 2011
Review
"I laughed out loud when I read the poems in this book, as did my students! Bandamp;W line drawings add to the humor and make the poems appealing to older students. Quite a few of the poems include mild bathroom humor, just the right type to appeal to upper elementary and middle school students."andlt;BRandgt; andlt;Iandgt;--Library Media Connectionandlt;/Iandgt;, Jan/Feb 2012, Recommended
Review
"As they did in andlt;Iandgt;Oops!andlt;/Iandgt;, Katz and Koren once again craft a giggle-inducing collection of 100 humorous poems. . . . This collection should prove popular with readers whoand#8217;ve enjoyed the work of Shel Silverstein, Jack Prelutsky, and Douglas Florian."andlt;BRandgt; --andlt;Iandgt;School Library Journalandlt;/Iandgt;, November 2011
Review
"The succinct verses derive humor from puns, family dynamics, and bathroom humor as well as a generous sprinkling of general silliness. This is solid ground for amusing grade-school poetry, as demonstrated by the likes of Jack Prelutsky and Douglas Florian."andlt;BRandgt; --andlt;iandgt;BCCBandlt;/iandgt;, December 2011
