The author refers to himself as the "King of Giggle Poetry," a sobriquet that certainly isn't earned if this collection is any indication. Give this pretender to the throne credit for including the work of such true royalty as Dr. Seuss, but this only demonstrates how Lansky's own efforts pale in comparison. In fact, Lansky's writes a poem that parallels one of Seuss' classic works, but where Seuss is ever-elegant, Lansky comes across as down-right nasty. If dropping a baby on his head is your idea of cute, then these poems are for you. I would recommend something less insulting for the children in your life. Perhaps a complete collection of Dr. Seuss would be the perfect birthday gift instead.
