Summary:

Anything goes on Silly Street. There's a flying squirrel circus, pink elephant races, and even a pony that eats fried baloney. At the candy booth you can buy gummy yum noodles and rainbow jaw busters. At the hat store you can purchase a helmet, a tiara, or a halo, if you happen to be an angel.

A trip to Silly Street is just the thing for any kid with a case of the sillies. With its endless selection of merriments--including unusual pets, wacky hats, balloon rides, bubble gum--chewing crows, and more--it's the perfect place for expressing your zany side and laughing out loud.

These fourteen poems, hand selected from Jeff Foxworthy's popular Silly Street, will tickle new readers who are ready to read themselves to silliness and back again.

School Library Journal Review

K-Gr 2-In 27 simple poems, Foxworthy takes readers on an adventure down Silly Street and back. "In the heart of the city/Is a place people meet./It's this and it's that/And it's called Silly Street." Each selection describes one of the street's highlights, from Mel's House of Clocks that only sells socks to the "Daily Parade" to "The Best Sandbox Ever." The singsong verses are good fun even if the rhythm sometimes falters. Colorful and detailed cartoon illustrations help bring many of the sights to life.-Julie Roach, Cambridge Public Library, MA (c) Copyright 2010.

Horn Book Review

This second collection of humorous poems by comedian Foxworthy offers a trip down Silly Street, a "cool place" where one can attend a "flying squirrel circus," purchase a "big pony / That eats fried baloney," and watch "a pig that does flips on a green trampoline." Bright, colorful illustrations energize the playful collection. (c) Copyright 2010. The Horn Book, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
