Great poetry book for kids
Sukumar has really penned a wonderful and captivating illustrated poetry book.I enjoyed the rhythmic verses and so my three year grand daughter 😊
rather scaresome, or maybe I'm old-fashioned
I had mixed feelings after buying it, and I never dared to show this book to my children. Funny rhymes, not instructive. Just for fun, but htese prictures of mutants are kind of scary. I didn't understand them at all: these mutations of a rooster and a cow, a giraffe and a grasshopper. Well, this is not at all what I would show my children. 3 stars for rhymes, they are funny, but the visuals didn't work for me at all.
