I am not swayed by a "celebrity" tied to a book. I picked this one up because I am always on the look out for new books to expose my nephews to like different genres and writing styles. This one is full of poems. Poems ranging from wacky, short, long, gross, and real life. The art work in this collect of poems is cool. It is like graffiti. Which I thought is a cool way of portraying stories.
A couple of my favorite poems from this collection are:
Haters
Haters like to bully, but I will not waver.
Haters think they're tough, but I'm the one who's braver.
Haters are doubters, and I'm a believer.
Haters are cowards, and I'm an achiever.
One day when I'm older, living my dream.
I'll let that hate melt away, just like ice cream.
Brushing My Tiger's Teeth
Good grief?
How I hate brushing my tiger's teeth!
I cried, "Tiger, you better open up wide!"
And I just nearly crumbled.
I wish there were another way to keep my tiger plaque-free.
When I put the brush inside his mouth, I think he'll attach me.
I timidly scrub his molars but skip the last three,
Because he's ticklish back there, and he might snap me!
The dentist says I'm doing great, no tooth has been lost.
Only problem is, now I keep forgetting to floss!

Some of these poems were very relatable, but the majority of them were just silly and super fun to read. I really enjoyed laughing my way through this book, and the artwork was stunning!

This book is in the vein of Shel Silverstein and is meant to be juvenile. I think a young poc would find themselves represented in these poems and would have some fun.
It's nice that this book has gross and silly poems but also poems that share a good message. This book would be a positive influence on a young person.

This selection of poems is by Nick Cannon who gives credit to Shel Silverstein for inspiration. While I thought some of the poems were good - inspirational or clever I found many of them to be hoo-hum. Most followed an ab ab rhyme scheme which can get quite monotonous over time. I wasn't overly impressed. That being said...I did purchase the book and it will be in the library. The kids may like it more than I did.

Cute collection of poems. Poems range for 4 lines to and entire page length with nice black and white pictures. My favorite poem has to be the first one in the book, Neon Aliens Are My Homework.

Not a big poetry fan, that being said - not bad and actually touching in some parts.
