This book is big and the cover's appealing, but there's nothing inside it. It's ridiculous that reviewers are comparing Florian to Silverstein. It's ridiculous that customers are buying Florian. It's ridiculous that Florian's drawings are winning awards. I'm completely baffled. Children's poetry is not a huge market. You'd think that the few who *do* get published would be talented, if not exceptional. Nyet.

I purchased this book for a seven year old who was not too fond of reading. The short, silly, easy to read poems have welcomed her into a world of reading that she is now eager to explore. The point being....this is a book of poems meant for children, the author has a fun way of writing that appeals to even the least likely reader.

This is the best poetry book I have ever read in my life. The poems in this book are just so great.
For a report in school i had to read some poems from a poetry book. I picked to use Laugh-Eteria. When I read Laugh-Eteria to my class my class just loved it! I can not beleive how good an author Douglass Florian is!
I would recomend this to anyone in 2nd grade and up till they are 99999 years old!
