My Dog Ate My Homework is the first collection of Bruce Lansky�s own poetry. This book helped make Lansky�s reputation as a consistently entertaining poet with a unique voice and style. His poems are about someone named �I� or �me� who so resembles the readers, their siblings, friends, parents, pets, and teachers � they think Lansky is writing about them. In this book, Lansky introduces us to: -a �too friendly� dog who should be using Scope -a teacher who resembles her students in her avoidance of homework -a kid who thinks his cat isn�t smart because it won�t come when called and won�t shake, beg or fetch -a young �Romeo� who �climbed up the door and opened the stairs� after his first kiss - a youngthter with a looth tooth who tellth a painful thtory about a bike cwath -kids who start wishing their horrible old cook would come back after a new gourmet chef is hired -two siblings would like their parents to know about each other Lansky also offers a practical lesson on how to delay your bedtime and a sure cure for thumbsucking. This book also includes several, charming fill-in-the blank poems perfect for morning announcements on the school P.A. plus some generic New Year�s resolutions you can use in a pinch. Because Lansky�s poetry is about them, kids find it hilarious � and don�t be surprised if reading this book puts a smile on your face, too.
