Sad Underwear and Other Complications
Sad Underwear and Other Complications: More Poems fo Children and Their Parents | Judith Viorst
3 posts | 1 read
Knock, knock. Who's there? Someone with sad underwear. Sad underwear? How can that be? When my best friend's mad at me, Everything is sad. Even my underwear. Only Judith Viorst, with the perfect pitch for the trials of childhood that has made her Alexander books modern classics, could create an ode to melancholy unmentionables. But the title poem is just one of the many pleasures in this collection, which bursts with wit and understanding -- and the occasional poignant note. Sure to delight readers of Shel Silverstein and Jack Prelutsky, as well as Viorst's own legions of fans, Sad Underwear is a perfect companion volume to her celebrated If I Were In Charge of the World.

I would love to have this in my room and pull a poem when something related happens so we could read it as a class and discuss. For example, there was one about doing homework, not doing it but still wanting credit because they promised to do it.

This is a book of poems about some of lifes greatest lessons, wonders, worries and so much more. It says it is for children and their parents, but I think this could be used in many ways.
