In this hilarious collection of poems, comedian Jeff Foxworthy creates a neighborhood filled with fun, family, friends, and more. Here you'll meet Cousin Lizzy, Uncle Ed and Aunt Foo Foo, cows with horns that don't go beep, dads in sweaters, also sheep. From the thrill of flying to the imaginary planet Woosocket to bonding with a friend over a shared hatred of spinach, these poems capture the very essence of being a kid. Filled with sly humor and always affectionate, Dirt on My Shirt is sure to delight kids, big and little, everywhere. |

This book was delightful and surprised us. We found the poetry wonderful and our 3 year old grandson liked it very much. The pictures were very fun and well matched to the poems.
We all really liked the poem about escaping balloons. We saw some balloons floating away later and showed them to our grandson. We commented about them going up to the angel children. Fun and creative poems. (Review Data Last Updated: 2008-06-10 02:17:08 EST)

I bought this for my 3 year old grandson. I read it before I gave it to my grandson, naturally. I loved it. The verses so much like a little boy. Mr Foxworthy definitely remembers what it is like to be a child, a real boy and put it in short appropriate verse and subject matter. The topics were those of a boy. I was charmed with the title and then with the poems. Reminds me of my grandson and how much of a true "boy" he really is.

I saw that Jeff Foxworthy had a kids book and I was a little surprised. I looked it up on Amazon and saw the description and purchased it. The book came and my 4yr old really loved the title and when we read the poems it liked it even more. We have to read at least a couple of poems each night before bed.

I bought this book for my grandson after seeing Jeff Foxworthy interviewed. This has fast become my grandsons favorite book. My son tells me that he is reading it to him every day. Written with humor and at a level most children would love.

This is so cute - the rhymes are simple and easy to remember. They are enough of a challenge for a small child, yet "meaty" enough to grant them a sense of mastery at memorizing them.
I cannot WAIT to give this book as a gift for my grand-nephew's birthday! (Review Data Last Updated: 2008-04-19 01:12:40 EST)

When I watched Harry Smith (CBS Early Show) and Jeff Foxworthy reading excerpts from Foxworthy's Dirt On My Shirt, I knew I had to purchase it for my 6 year-old great-granddaughter. It has arrived. I've read it and can't wait for her next visit so we can read it together. I covet every moment I have with her, and I think reading Foxworthy's clever rhymes with her "gram-gram" will be a memory she'll forever cherish.

This is a cute book of funny poems. I think it is a great book for 3-8 yr olds, but I don't know what the real rating is. I love to read this to my kids!

This book is beautifully done and my grandson loved it. I surely hope Jeff does another. So simple yet elegant, for a Redneck even...

Dirt on My ShirtI bought this book as an Easter gift for my grandaughter, age 3. She loved it when I read it to her but I think as she grows older she will enjoy it more, especially when she comes to know who Jeff Foxworthy is.

This kids' poetry book is worth buying for the fluid illustrations, but the poems are a bit uninspired. One called "Sharing a Bed" reads: "Sharing a bed with your cousins, Is not the easiest thing, They toss and they turn, They giggle and snore, And sometimes, They just like to sing."
Nothing wrong with that, but it's no Dr. Seuss or Shel Silverstein. But back to the art. Every page has a colorful pen-and-ink over watercolor that tells a story. A double-spread painting for "What Do You See?" includes a list of 33 things to search for. Another of "Uncle Keith" eating corn on the cob has him munching so fast he's a blur. For more creative wordplay, check out Silverstein's Where the Sidewalk Ends as well as that late author's "new" title Don't Bump the Glump!. Also great: Most any of the Skippyjon Jones titles or these Seuss classics: There's a Wocket in My Pocket! Dr. Seuss's Book of Ridiculous Rhymes Mr. Brown Can Moo, Can You : Dr. Seuss's Book of Wonderful Noises (Review Data Last Updated: 2008-04-07 01:10:27 EST)

Jeff Foxworthy doesn't disappoint with his humorous poetry. Both great for children ages 4-8 and adults too, each verse takes a different twist on things we come in contact with everyday, from dirt on your shirt to -are we there yet?, hide-and-seek, friends, uninvited guests, wishing and fishing, noises, and snakes. As always, Jeff has to bring his family into the picture making fun of relatives from Grandma, Grandaddy, Uncles, Aunties, and Cousins which will sure to make kids grin. A wonderful way to introduce young children to poetry. They are sure to want to read it over, and over, and over again! (In addition, the pictures are outstanding and fun, too!)

This book is everything you need in a childrens book. It's silly, funny, and the poems are not too long. Really great for children and adults.

My kids are still small, and I've wanted to introduce them more to rhyme and poetry. But I feel that most kids' poetry books are somehow over their heads, or they're just not big enough yet. My big girl is 7. I happened to run into this one today, and WOW, I thought the subject matter had such kid appeal, really sweet and kind, light, funny stuff (and not disgusting either!). So kudos to Jeff Foxworthy, hat's off to you, I didn't know you had this in you too. Illustrations great too. Hope you do some more!
