With a poem in your pocket
and a pocket in your pants
you can rock with new rhythms.
You can skip.
You can dance.

This lively collection is packed with kid friendly, "pocket-sized" poems by such well-known poets as Eve Merriam, Jack Prelutsky, and Bobbi Katz. Sure to leave children dancing, giggling, and loving poetry, this compilation will be a bedtime, playtime, anytime favorite! With stunning art by the beloved Marilyn Hafner, this book will be welcomed by kids and adults alike.

"Appealingly lighthearted and playful." - The Horn Book

"In this child friendly collection of short, bouncy poems, Katz pulls together more than 50 previously published selections by a broad spectrum of authors...The verses range from humorous (William Cole's "Banananananananana") to introspective (Gwendolyn Brooks's "A Stranger to Himself"). In a closing note, Katz expresses her hoe that these poems "will find short-term homes in the pockets of many children and long-term homes in their memories." This superbly designed volume should find a home on most library shelves." - School Library Journal
