review 1: World Rat Day: Poems About Real Holidays You’ve Never Heard Of is a small collection of poems geared for early elementary-aged children. Author J. Patrick Lewis uses comedic short poems with aide of illustrator Anna Raff. The pictures grasp the attention of a child and wanting them to keep reading the next poem. Each poem is of a fictional holiday and different animals such as flamingos, skunks, and hippos. Although not on the level of Shel Silverstein, this a delightful and fun read for a young elementary student beginning to read, and beginning to read poetry.
review 2: I struggled whether or not I could call this nonfiction since I found it in the easy children's fiction section of the library, but it does say that these holidays are real! Lewis makes ... moreus laugh with poems about crazy holidays such as "Bulldogs are Beautiful Day," "International Cephalopod Awareness Day," and "Chocolate-Covered Anything Day." Kids will love the word play and the rats that decorate the illustrations throughout. Funny poems and illustrations! It would be a lot of fun to celebrate these holidays throughout the school year! less
