I'd Like a Story

I'd like a story of Ghosts on gusty nights, Wild island ponies galloping With manes that wave like kites, A book that knows the lowdown On what to feed giraffes, A book of nutty nonsense That's nothing much--just laughs--

A book to read to find out How basketball stars shoot, Why dinosaurs all died out, What do computers compute, Which sail a mizzen sail is, Can Martians really be, How heavy a blue whale is, Weighed side by side with me--

A book to curl in bed with, To browse in by a brook-- Anytime!

Anyplace! I'd like any book!

X. J. Kennedy

COMMENTS

  1. Good Books, Good Times! (Trophy Picture Books (Paperback))

    Karla Kuskin, Jack Prelutsky, and Arnold Lobel are just a few of the acclaimed children's book authors whose poems are joined into this delightful ode to the world of words. Wonderfully wacky illustrations by Harvey Stevenson help make this a rollicking good book--and a rollicking good time.
