Poetry can be boring. It can be hard to read. If you are having negative feelings about poetry, try this book. The whole 281 pages is rhyming. Not a clumsy, awkward kind of rhyming, but a playful, stick-to-the-amazing-story rhyming. I was deeply impressed with the author's technique.
Beyond the poetry, what an amazing story. The orphaned girl is placed with a distant relative who has no desire for adventurous tendencies...so what better way to solve the problem than with a lobotomist? Don't worry this is such a playful story that even talk of brain surgery (or removal) can be something to laugh at! This book will pique the curiosity of 3rd graders and keep kids laughing in 6th grade. It's sure to be a favorite in your library.
