...they'll be creeping and crawling to get their hands on this collection of zany rhymes. - Children's Book Review First of all, the main little critter is sporting nothing but his tighty whitey underwear. This alone had my kids giggling. - KC Books ...his new book, The Tighty Whitey Spider (with illustrations by Ethan Long) would make me a fan even if I wasn't already one. - Gotta Book The poems aren't dull and boring, they are full of action and fun...If all poetry was this exciting, I'd definitely read more! - Jenns Bookshelves Nesbitt's poems are funny and have a well, wacky off-beat kind of humor that really connects with kids (and their teachers and parents, I might add). - Lit for Kids Yes, they are funny and a little wacky - this book should have you chuckling with smiles. - Homeschool Buzz The Tighty Whitey Spider is exactly the kind of book my daughter would have loved when she was in elementary school. I can't think of a better way to help younger children develop an early appreciation for poetry than reading Nesbitt's poems. - The Mother Daughter Book Club Kenn Nesbitt combines animals and craziness into some wacky poems. - The Brain Lair So many of the poems are funny, but they are also very smart and full of little twists. I know kids will love the surprise endings. I think this really is a book that kids will want to read over and over again -- even those reluctant readers. - Booking Mama It's official: Kenn Nesbitt's poetry is kid- and parent-approved! His 'wacky animal poems' carry the common thread of silly critters in impossible situations - a recipe for laugh-out-loud page-turning fun. - She is too Fond of Books
