These fourteen poems, hand selected from Jeff Foxworthy's popular Silly Street, will tickle new readers who are ready to read themselves to silliness and back again.

K-Gr 2-In 27 simple poems, Foxworthy takes readers on an adventure down Silly Street and back. "In the heart of the city/Is a place people meet./It's this and it's that/And it's called Silly Street." Each selection describes one of the street's highlights, from Mel's House of Clocks that only sells socks to the "Daily Parade" to "The Best Sandbox Ever." The singsong verses are good fun even if the rhythm sometimes falters. Colorful and detailed cartoon illustrations help bring many of the sights to life.-Julie Roach, Cambridge Public Library, MA (c) Copyright 2010.
