These poems are silly! Some of them just get sillier and sillier. This book is a lot of fun and the illustrations are also very funny. I loved the wordplay, which and the silly situations. Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this

I have mixed feelings on this book of silly rhymes and short stories. We had a lot of fun reading through most of them, but a few were… odd. Perhaps I’ll-fitting is the best term. It’s not that they are inappropriate, but seem like they are not published in the right time - my grandparents generation probably would’ve appreciated those darker stories a bit more than we did. Most were light hearted and fun, with silly matching illustrations and rhymes that kept my preschoolers attention. Some clearly had a morality lesson (the elephant asking why they make the circus humans perform, for example) while others seem to be pure silly nonsense.

Overall, cute eclectic fun.

The cover and artwork drew me in, but sadly was a slight let down. Some of the rhyming was cute and funny but for the most part were not clever or funny.

I only enjoyed some of the poems, the ones that rhymed or didn't drag on too long! My favorite was the one about the elephants watching the humans at the circus because that one held deeper meaning!

This was not a good fit for my eight year old daughter or for myself. We liked four of the riddles but the rest either weren’t clever or funny, nonsensical, or they were too rude for my liking.

In love the short and sweet poems!! Each poem had some illustrations that came with them, which were both silly and cute - fitting for a younger audience. I liked that there are a lot of poems, providing variety to choose from depending on your mood!

I really love how this book flows so well due to the rhythms. I feel like this book is directed more towards older children since the pages have longer a decent number of words on them. For parents with children of different aged the pages will be fun to look at for younger kids. I enjoyed this book overall but some of the pages were more interesting than others in my opinion.

The title and cover art drew me in. This is a silly and whimsical children’s book filled with fun rhymes. I love it! This would be a great book to read together at bedtime. Reading a different rhyme or two each night. The art is lovely watercolor with lots of detail. Will definitely be recommending this book to add to our library collection. 5 stars!

A Lot of Silly offers a delightful experience that will engage young readers and invite them into a world of whimsical nonsense. It’s a celebration of imagination and humor that is sure to bring smiles and giggles to children and adults alike.

My kids and I really enjoyed this book! My 3y old is in an “elephants” phase, so the artwork was relevant and BEAUTIFUL! I found the poems whimsical, and they brought me back to my younger self when I would be immersed in Shel Silverstein poetry.

I will be on the lookout for this book, because I’d love a hard copy for my library.
