Bananas in my Ears by Michael Rosen
This is a book of nonsensical poems. I really like this collection because it's silly and in my opinion for pure entertainment. There were four different sections or topics, and in each section there were some of the same kinds of poems; the same characters in each poem, and the same title maybe, but just the topic was changed. I thought that that was a great technique because I was able then to get an idea of what kind of character each one was and it made the poems even funnier to me. Even the titles of the sections though had names that didn't make sense. My favorite section was "Hard Boiled Legs". I liked it because it had the most ridiculous poems in it. Most of these poems end in a way that leaves the reader confused. Many of them have very abrupt endings that don't make much sense, but I guess thats the point of the poems.
