“The poems in this book/ Are meant to be humorous.They poke fun at the everyday (“Our school lunch is from outer space,/ Endangering the human race”) and the imaginary (“Hello, my name is Dracula./ My clothing is all blackula./… /At dawn I hit the sackula./ Tomorrow I’ll be backula!”). Florian repeatedly shows that he knows what makes kids giggle.”–Publishers Weekly
“Kids will find plenty to chuckle over in Douglas Florian’s punchline-rich Laugh-eteria, his seventh poetry offering after walloping successes like Bing Bang Boing and Insectlopedia. Florian fans will enjoy the punster’s groan-worthy wordplay, and kids will no doubt relish the rampant silliness that’s strangely akin to their own.”–Amazon.com
