Award winning books that are naughty, potty and nice. L. W. Lewis has created and outrageously funny collection of humorous poetry that deals with the conundrums of every day child life. From feeding dog food to a little brother, to destroying each others toys, to observing nose-pickers in church. Nothing is off limits in this collection of amusing poetry books. Along the way Lewis manages to "sneak" in subtle lessons about the importance of having high ideals and good morals. Under currents that should have an impact, yet go unnoticed by all but the most perceptive of children. His books blend clever wordplay with easy-to-remember rhymes to help build reading confidence and create verses that are fun to say aloud - again and again. Intended for audiences from 3rd through 8th grades and parents and grandparents who read to children.

Read what teachers and media specialists have to say:
Both teachers and children enjoyed your visit and were turned on by poetry. Some of my male students found your books to be the best and would keep them in their desks for weeks until I made them return the books because they were overdue and requested by other students.
Kids have gone crazy over your poetry. On Saturday morning they get to choose what they want to read. No contest, your books are always chosen. You have really helped me generate an interest in reading.
Since Mr. Lewis’s visit we have not been able to keep his books in the library. When the books are checked in, someone is inevitably waiting to check it out again.
The humor, real life observations, and “gross them out” language immediately grab students’ attention. And then keeps them both mentally and verbally saying, “ I thought the same thing” and “I wondered about that too”. Your books are already checked out and there is a long list that will keep them circulating throughout the school year. You make loving poetry “cool” and writing it easy.
I pulled together the circulation stats on your books. In the last three months “Why Do Flies Eat Doggy Poop” has been checked out 32 times: Tickle Tree - 26 times; and “Poodles, Tigers, Monsters & You” - 17 times.
I don’t know what you’re doing but keep doing it. Your books are always checked out.
READER REVIEWS
5.0 out of 5 stars Newest Addition to my Granddaughter’s Collection
My granddaughter has all of this author’s previous children’s poetry books and she absolutely loves them! So, when I heard that a new book of poems was being published, I just knew that I had to get it for my granddaughter! We first started reading his other books together when she was only 6, now she is 11 and these books remain her favorites. She is always begging “Just one more, Grandma” when it is time to turn off the light at bedtime. Now that she is older, she reads to me! I am convinced that these funny and entertaining poems have helped to develop her excellent reading skills. I am eagerly looking forward to surprising her with “Bathing Kitty” this Christmas and all the new giggles this book will generate!
