A Foot in the Mouth

Turn up the sound! An award-winning duo return with a playfully enticing ode to the pleasures of reading poetry aloud.One voice, two voice, three voice, free voice! Whether rhyming, tongue tying, or defying structure, here are more than three dozen poems that simply beg to be read aloud. The creators of "A Poke in the I" and "A Kick in the Head" complete a triplet with this collection of lively rhymes and tricky tongue-twisters, poems for more than one voice, bilingual poems - and poems that may just inspire kids to memorize them (and impress anybody in earshot). Paul B. Janeczko offers a range of gems from classic Shakespeare and Lear to anonymous rhymes to contemporary riffs on everything under the sun, while Chris Raschka counterpoints with the vibrant accents of his wittily detailed artwork.
