Neon Aliens Ate My Homework: And Other Poems by Nick Cannon

3.0

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!
