Goblins. Boogers. Stinky boys. These are the things of childhood, and they're all here in this outrageous collection of poems that look at the world through a child's eyes. Featuring everything from the Giant Children of the title-who flip pages with amazing speed-to a turtle named Jaws, the poetry included here is rambunctious, irreverent, funny, and sometimes even gross. Tedd Arnold, creator of the beloved Parts and More Parts, and Brod Bagert are good friends who have happily teamed up-with hilarious results.

    I am a Kindergarten Teacher and our District Literacy Coach had read us a couple poems at a training. Before she could start the second one I had snagged the book, Boogers was enough to hook me. My class is so excited when I pull the book out and laughs hysterically as I read.

There are a few poems in here that are hilarious and my students love them. There is one about a booger.... My students love it. It is a great poem to use to teach voice in writing.

    Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2024
    This book was a hit with my pre K students. My co teacher and I would read it before nap time. No matter how many times we read and re read the book they loved it. Even though I had brought it with my own money I didn’t have the heart to take it with me when I left the school.
