Sugary Boogery Book: A Healthy Dose of Sweet and Gross (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780692272992)

Poetry should soar to the heavens. It should sing of flowers and love, of beauty and tragedy... Or, if you're author Kris Beckman, it can just as easily be about the delightfully sticky, icky side of life. Sugary Boogery Book is a healthy dose of sweet and gross that finds humor in the messy fun of making a milk fountain and the magic in a bar of soap. Beckman explores the simple joys and challenges of life, reminding readers of the enduring power of a mother's kiss and the horror of opening the bathroom door to find grandpa on the toilet. Laugh with her as she makes silly bear hunting plans; deals with kids saying naughty bathroom words; plays silly tongue-twisting word games; and recreates scenes from her own childhood. Life and love run throughout Beckman's poems, all written with a rhyme scheme and language appropriate for young readers. Parents and teachers will appreciate Sugary Boogery Book for its playful introduction into the world of poetry. Kids love it for that special mix of sweetness and grossness-without being too icky! Playfully illustrated by Beckman's teenage niece, Allison Baty, Sugary Boogery Book will delight children and parents with its oddball rhymes and funny tales.
