The Butterfly Jar

Playful, childlike and nonsense verses can be some of the most enjoyable things to read. This book is a collection of verse written for children. The author was the head writer for "Sesame Street" and his talent is certainly displayed here. All of the verses are short and is accompanied by an illustration. These illustrations are very well done and many of the verses also contain a message. Some examples are: Two Against One Two against one Isn't much fun Especially if you Aren't part of the two. Hi, how are you today I'm feeling very horrible And low and mean and mad And dreadful and deplorable And rotten, sick and sad And nasty and unbearable And hateful, vile and blue But thanks a lot for asking And please tell me ... How are you? Children in the early years of elementary school will really enjoy this book

This book of peoms will really touch you. I LOVED it. find it in your heart to BUY THIS BOOK!!!! =0p

When I was in 4th grade (I'm in 10th now) I had to memorize a poem for class and I chose one out of this book and that summer I moved and never found the book again. For the past 5 years I've been looking for The Butterfly Jar and now that I've found it I'm so happy!

The Butterfly Jar was the book that really got me into poetry. I checked it out of my school libary 5 to 10 times. I went back to my elemtrey school (I am in Jr. High) and found the book and re-read poems that I had totally forgotten about. This is a great book of poems for people that need a bit of help in the imagination deparment.
