Dirt on My Shirt by Jeff Foxworthy - OPTIONAL


Foxworthy, Jeff Dirt on My Shirt Illustrated by Steve Bjorkman Harper, 2008. $9.99 PICTURE BOOK  Content: G. 
This is a book of poems about little kids and their experiences in the everyday world.  The poems sometimes have funny little twists at the end and are light and funny.  Some of the poem’s topics include the weather, family, nature, and friends.  All the poems have a rhyming cadence.  Some of the poems are longer and some are only four lines long.  The illustrations add to the message of the poems and will keep the attention of younger readers.  Sometimes it is hard to make the connection of some of the lines to the rest of the poem.  Overall, these are sweet poems, but they aren’t Shel Silverstein by any stretch of the imagination. 
EL (K-3)-OPTIONAL.  Reviewer, C. Peterson.
