Fasten your giggle belts! Here come more dangerously funny poems from one of the most hilarious and “heartful” children’s poets in the solar system—Ted Scheu. In these 62 delicious poems, he has, as always, carefully captured kids’ laughs and concerns about school and life. And, once again, Peter Lourie’s stunning photos capture faces that are guaranteed to put a smile on yours!

You’ll be totally tickled
(and so will your teachers, whether they like it or not!)

“By night, Ted Scheu is a children’s poet extra-ordinaire; by day, a children’s shrink roaming the halls of kids’ brains. How else does one capture, spot on, a wacky elementary child’s mind?”
— J. Patrick Lewis
Award-winning children’s author and poet

“A delightful, funny, and often poignant expression of today’s school children, this book will amuse and inspire kids to write, write, write!”
— Jean Marzollo

“Ted Scheu’s poems, along with Peter Lourie’s photos, provide just the right combination of mischievous humor and emotion to entertain poetry-hungry kids. Full of waggish poems and faces that will surely tickle both teachers and students..”
