A Pirate Named Molly

Book excerpt: A PIRATE NAMED MOLLY - 56 Limericks for Kids contains a smorgasbord of 56 all-new limericks for kids ages 6 - 13. The limericks range from the traditional A Pirate Named Molly to the folklore inspired Naughty Young Shepherd (The Boy Who Cried Wolf). Holiday limericks include A Reindeer Named Charley and A Creepy Old Witch. Nursery Rhyme adaptations include A Spider Named Matt (Little Miss Muffett). Many of the limericks are impertinent. Some end in tragedy, others are nonsense. All of them will make a kid think - about words, about choices, and about consequences. Also included are a How-To-Write-A-Limerick Guide and a Rhyming Word Cheat Sheet. These two tools make writing limericks easy and fun for kids and adults - the author uses the Cheat Sheet every day!
