    About this ebook

    My teacher’s pretty slick, has a hundred teaching tricks.
    Even in the bathroom stalls, she hangs poetry on the walls.
    And while I’m there all alone, I can’t help but read a poem.

    From “Gross” and “Flushophobic” to “There’s a Sock in the Toilet,” these poems will have kids laughing all the way to “The Bathroom Dance.”
