"Get your pencils out! Brian P. Cleary makes writing limericks easy enough for anyone. I wish I'd had this book when I was a kid; I would have started writing poems a lot sooner." --Kenn Nesbitt, Children's Poet Laureate
-- (9/4/2015 12:00:00 AM)"Steering artfully away from content either raunchy or banal, Cleary offers a sampler of 26 original limericks animated by puns and wordplay."―Booklist
-- (3/15/2015 12:00:00 AM)"[Cleary] continues his light romp through poetic forms in the third installment of the Poetry Adventures series...this time focusing on a cornerstone of the nonsense verse world that seems made for him: the limerick. Inviting illustrations and offbeat topics showcase limericks aplenty for amusement or poetic inspiration."―Kirkus Reviews
-- (2/1/2015 12:00:00 AM)"An amusing, whimsical flavor runs through all of the selections here, and cute, colorful cartoon drawings accompany each offering, making this a wonderfully ridiculous collection."--School Library Journal
