The poems are energetic, upbeat, and have a humorous slant on the trials and triumphs of
the younger grades. With artwork as kinetic and multicolored as the graphics on
"Nickelodeon", this volume will appeal to those who appreciate the
anything-can-happen environment of Miss Nelson's classroom or the Magic School Bus.
