Poem-mobiles Description
The U.S. Children's Poet Laureate and an award-winning children's poet join their prolific forces in this picture book of poems about cars. But they're not just any cars: there's the "Sloppy-Floppy-Nonstop-Jalopy" ("So unique there is no copy"); the Bathtub Limosine ("With hot water heating / And porcelain seating"); and the "High Heel Car." Each of the thirteen quirky, inventive poems will speak directly to the imaginations of children, as will Holmes's high-concept, detail-filled illustrations.

Never having been a huge poetry fan, mainly because I did not understand it, children’s poetry books like today’s title, Poem-Mobiles: Crazy Car Poems are the reason why I not only enjoy poetry, but even understanding is beginning to take hold. Crazy Car Poems could not have any better poets and illustrators than it has, and it shows. The poems are not only wonderful to read aloud, rolling off the tongue smoothly—except when laughing, which is the other great thing about Crazy Car Poems: the poems are hilarious and the illustrations are fabulous, or maybe the poems are fabulous and the illustrations are hilarious. Either way, or both ways, Crazy Car Poems is fantastic. Kids, of all ages, will love this book, especially the male species.
If you like the feel and look of a brand new car, with its clean interior, shiny body, strong chassis, oh, and that brand-new car smell, Crazy Car Poems will thrill you, because it has all those features and more. These automobiles rhyme, sing, and beat to a perfect cadence. And Crazy Car Poems are the wave of the future. Forget hybrids, electronics, sonic boom stereos, and cars that park themselves, for these cars need none of that old-fashioned nonsense to drive like a dream. Forget the Smart Car. Get a Mini-Mini-Car.
“I’m in my little motorcar—
My mini-mini-mini.
it’s itsy-bitsy-teeny-weeny,
Skinny skinny skinny.
I squeeze inside and then I ride
Some more and more and more.
But I don’t brag, for there’s a snag:
I can’t get out the door.
