Something Big Has Been Here: Hilarious Rhyming Poems and Wordplay for Children (Ages 6-10)

This is a GREAT book of poems. They are well written and very funny -my seven year old understands the humor in every one we have read. They are written at a level so that she can read them herself with a few difficult words thrown in that I have to sound out and define for her! This was recommended by my daughter's second grade teacher as a book to read aloud with second graders and it has not disappointed!

I purchased this book for my college literature class. It was a required reading assignment. I have never heard of Jack Prelutsky before, but I quickly became a fan of his writting. I have never laughed so much as I did when I read his book of poems in one day. This is a must for any parent with small children. It will keep them entertained for hours. Additionally, It is a good book for adults who just need to have a good laugh after a bad day.

I ordered Something Big Has Been Here because a lesson plan I was using suggested it. My students enjoyed acting out the poem I read to them. Since then, I pick a poem for my Kindergarten through third graders for after every Physical Education class to help my kids use their imagination as they quietly cool down. Their homeroom teachers appreciate them coming back to them ready to learn! I am very happy to have this book in my equipment arsenal! My younger students ask me to read from Something Big Has Been Here often.

Ok

Still a favorite for generations to come! Jack Pretlusky's, "A Pizza the Size of the Sun" is also a keeper. Many fond memories of giggling with the kids and enjoying time spent reading. A book that will live on through the poems that tickle the funny bone for all ages.

Great book for my 7 year old daughter. She loves reading this. The seller shipped fast and book was in excellent condition.

My niece loves this book. She is in first grade and loves poems. The poems in this book are fun, detailed, funny, and very descriptive. After reading many of the poems in the book she says she wants to eventually take a class about poetry. She already started to try to write her own poems. The illustrations in this book are great. This book was intended for children but people of all ages can enjoy it.

This is a great book of poems for all ages!

My kids love this book. Especially my boys. They beg me to read it!
