Crystal,

 

Thanks. That's interesting. Humor, riddles, and puns are major hooks for getting boy scouts into a reading session but I had assumed that was just a boy thing. Interesting to see the profile below which is broadly consistent.

Just for kicks I looked up circulation stats for our poetry section. The poetry book most often checked out is....

 

Where the Sidewalk Ends - Siverstein

 

Here are some of the others that circulate the most:

Dirt on My Shirt - Jeff Foxworthy

Kids Pick the Funniest Poems - Bruce Lansky

Once I Ate a Pie - Patricia MacLachlan

Pocket Poems - Bobbi Katz

New Kid on the Block - Prelutsky

My Dog May Be a Genius - Prelutsky

A Pizza the Size of the Sun - Prelutsky

Everything on It - Silverstein

Falling Up - Silverstein

Runny Babbit - Silverstein

A Light in the Attic - Silverstein

Hello Kitty Everywhere: Photographs and Haiku


 

Humor is clearly the winner when it comes to poetry in our elementary school.
