A Whale of a Time: Funny Poems for Each Day of the Year
Listening to poetry isn't just about introducing young minds to various poetic styles, forms, and literary traditions; it can also be a gateway to understanding diverse cultures, histories, and societal issues. A Whale of a Time: Funny Poems for Each Day of the Year is an illustrated anthology bursting with timeless classics and delightful discoveries from around the world. Each poem in this extraordinary collection comes to life through comical and vibrant artwork created with paint, pens, crayons, and digital techniques. These add a playful and imaginative twist to limericks, haikus, free verse, odes, and more, proving that poetry can be entertaining.
Within the pages of this remarkable collection, you'll discover 366 amusing (and sometimes slightly rude) poems that will delight readers of all ages. The book's organized layout includes a handy monthly index, so you always know what to look forward to. Most poems are delightfully short, making it easy to enjoy one each day. Whether you read these aloud or encourage your child to savor them in solitude, A Whale of a Time promises to bring a smile to his face every day of the year! Complete with a ribbon marker and glossy double-page spreads, A Whale of a Time is an astounding compendium of kid-friendly poetry adorned with attractive artwork that promises endless fun.
Listening to poetry is an excellent tool for expanding vocabulary, improving language comprehension, and enhancing communication skills. Additionally, it nurtures creative thinking and fires up the imagination as listeners vividly picture the imagery and metaphors woven into the poems. What better way could there be to gain the benefits of poetry than with the humorous A Whale of a Time?
Note to parents: Some of these poems will bring a delightful belly laugh to children and parents alike, while others may not fit your family’s standards. A few include casual uses of God’s name. Other concerns range from calling siblings “a pest”, to pondering who gave a Valentine (spoiler: it’s from his mom), to a dog who “sprinkles” flowers, and mentions of spells, ghosts, witches, zombies, a wizard, and so on. Accordingly, you may wish to read ahead and skip or edit pages that are not suitable for your family. Some pages to particularly note are 144, 166, 176, 229, 235, 251, 274-277, 300, and 329.
