Reading, Rhyming, and Rithmetic

Dave Crawley’s cheerful and lively poems focus on schools, cafeteria food, homework, new kids, rules, class pets, and finally, vacation!  They are lighthearted and many have interesting twists.  Liz Callen’s ink and watercolor illustrations are bright and a good match for the poems.  This is a delightful, up-beat collection of school poems and would make a good addition to an elementary school library.
