With two entirely different points of view, readers will decide for themselves who is really telling the truth.

This book provides 11 unique, silly poems that will delight young readers. With amazing vocabulary and varying poetic styles, children will have fun reading these fun poems, accompanied by adorable illustrations. Featuring poems like "Frankenstein's Monster World Tour,', "I Can Fly," and "Oodles of Noodles," readers will be introduced to rhyming and figurative language through entertaining tales.
