Description
Can you read a limerick without singing it? I sure can’t! This collection is quite funny, occasionally irreverent (but not too bad, and all in the bawdy chapter), and you read works from several authors. The organization is pretty funny itself: geographical, names, quotations, misspellings, abbreviations, tongue twisters, and such. I am sure your students will get a kick out of the format and lyricality of them all and hopefully be inspired to have a turn at writing their own (not bawdy!) limericks. ~Sara
