A Little Bitty Man and Other Poems for the Very Young by Halfdan Rasmussen - ADVISABLE

Rasmussen, Halfdan and Kevin Hawkes. Translated by Marilyn Nelson and Pamela Espeland. A Little Bitty Man and Other Poems for the Very Young. 29 pgs. Candlewick Press, 2011. $15.99. PICTURE BOOK.

A collection of poems, some humorous (in the vein of Shel Silverstein) and others straight nursery rhymes. Occasional absurd situations and potty humor are designed to earn some giggles. The colorful illustrations nicely complement the content and tone of each poem and may even earn a few chuckles of their own.
