Silly Street

This is a wonderfull book of poems and funny little ryhms. My son will love it when he gets it for christmas.The illustration is also wonderfull.

I purchased this book for my three year old nephew. He and his parents love to read it. The rhymes are very entertaining.

Reviewed by Grayce Richardson (age 5) for Reader Views (4/09) "'Silly Street' reminds me of Dr. Seuss. That was great! I loved all of it. I like the one about the socks and BooBoo McGrew and the flying pig. The crocodile wearing sunglasses and the pig jumping on the trampoline are fabulous. This book makes me laugh! I need to be silly." Parent's Note: Grayce laughed immediately when she saw the cover of "Silly Street" and heard its title. A completely original book, its wackiness reminded us both of Dr. Seuss. While it appears to be a collection of poems, each one is about a different store on Silly Street, so it is hard to tell if the author cleverly packaged the poems together or if he had the idea of a silly street and then created the vignettes. Either way, it's an entertaining read and "Silly Street" by Jeff Foxworthy is the book Grayce chooses to look at in the car on long rides.

We never thought of Jeff Foxsworthy as a childrens book author. We bought this for our two grandaughters who just love it. Their Dad says he is a little tired of reading it to them and sees no end in sight to their requests to hear it agin.

I was so pleased when I had a chance to look over this book! I am a Jeff Foxworthy fan and enjoy his comedy but he really knows kids too! I had ordered this book to donate to my local library in honor of my greatgrand-baby and I was so pleased, as was the library staff. The children will enjoy the silly text and the illustrations were bright, colorful, and very well done. THANK YOU, JEFF! Helen Barr, Auburn, GA
