The Bad Kids Book of Poems (B&W Illustrated) - Cautionary Verse for Morals, Manners, and Not Being Stupid (Paperback)

This is the optional - and less expensive - Black and White version of The Bad Kids Book of Poems, containing 32 humorous, rhyming poems and 105 accompanying cartoons about kids who do things they shouldn't do, like being reckless, selfish, gluttonous, foolish, disrespectful, malicious, impulsive, lazy, stupid, dishonest, disobedient, petulant, unkind, irresponsible, unhygienic, imprudent, etc., and the unfortunate but darkly humorous consequences of such behavior. Especially since some of the kids in the poems end up maimed or dead and on account of the dark humor (although none of the cartoons are gory or morally offensive), parents might want to consider whether this book is appropriate for their very young children, especially if they are under the age of about 7 or 8. The target audience is kids from about 8 to 98 years old. Here are a few of the shorter poems, so you can get an idea: Gossiping Gail - Gail liked to gossip Behind the others' backs; But this made some girls angry; One attacked her with an ax. Ricky the Unsafe Rider - Ricky used to ride his bike Without reflectors on; And now he rides a wheelchair, Since both his legs are gone.
