This book is a true delight, from the fabulously funny rhymes to the exceptional artwork. It would be a great addition to any library and enjoyed by every reader; whether young or old.
I really enjoyed it! —Diana S. Reeves
What a delightful and whimsical romp through the history, places and personalities that we've all come to know. This lighthearted and enchanted trip teases as it playfully lands you in the midst of all these events. It's like a whimsical history lesson! The clever illustrations are perfect! — Varified purchase
Mark Beasley's third book is another winner and my personal favorite!! You'll meet an endlessly entertaining cast of characters, such as The Keep-A-Secret Gang, The Rocking Chair Brothers and The People from Nowhere. You'll learn what actions are critical in Oceanic Panic. This collection ends with a poem that I call brilliant, both the poetry and the illustration. It's simply titled: The Writer and the Artist and describes the effort, anything but simple, Beasley and Welch share. I highly recommend Dragon's Tail For Sale for you, your kids, grandkids and any hard-to-buy-for friend or relative. You'll find these verses bring out the giggles in the grumpiest of Grinches! — Verified purchase

Such an enchanting book to read! Great for kids or grandkids, which is why I bought several. This one is bound to be a classic and may be Beasley's best book yet! — R. Thornburg
My favorites are The Mountainside, Hands Off the Chocolate, and Plain Old Bread, people would be fascinated by the concept of My Flying Submarine. If Nature Would Allow -Love It! One of my favorite lines in the last poem is "Get loose with Dr. Seuss." Overall, it's a cool collection of poems.

I love this book! I bought two of them for my grandkids. It's full of playful rhymes and poems. Great for anyone but it's perfect for children and teenagers. A very wholesome book. You'll be glad you added this book to your child's collection. — R. Thornburg
Reading these poems made me realize, all over again, that experiencing life with a flair of levity adds color to even our most bland moments. Beasley's poetry is simple at face value, but complex within. Cover to cover, sly smiles and goofy giggles. A treat for all ages. — Tim Larkin
Dr. Seuss better watch out! What an extra ordinary book of poems. This original, uplifting collection will keep you grinning from beginning to end. The variety of such subject matter is incredible. Witty moments that happen to us all. Written and illustrated for kids and adults alike, this book is a gem. — Varified purchase
The idea that reading could be just for fun in children's books was brokered by Dr. Seuss. Mark carries on that tradition for adults as well as young readers who want something to read simply for enjoyment. We can count on this author for long stretches of imagination that leave us laughing and wondering. — Varified purchase
Mark has managed to convert the mundane experiences of our everyday lives into something that we can actually find humorous. These perspectives allow us to become aware of our shortcomings and even laugh at ourselves! I look forward to his next series of introspective thoughts on humanity! — Varified purchase
