Just For Fun


(3 stars)

I enjoyed this, but I think I would prefer to read a print edition. Some of the poetry was dated, but modern children should find most of the poems as entertaining as the children of the 1800's did. At times the meter was off, and I wasn't always sure of the rhymes, but this shouldn't spoil it for most listeners. The narrator did a terrific job with this book; I shall be on the lookout for more from her.
