“Skene's poems and facts are enjoyable reads, both funny and informative. They can be read as a book, or poem by poem as time permits; these would be great in a classroom for when the teacher has a few free minutes (before the bell rings or otherwise).”
“Highly recommended.”
- CM Magazine - January 8, 2010
“The colourful cover and numerous illustrations should attract independent readers while teachers could use individual poems...Recommended.”
- The Bookmark (BCTLA) - February 1, 2009

Did you know these food facts?
Shoofly pie may not have any flies, but oxtail soup really does have oxtails in it.
A burgoo is a thick spicy stew and some picnics are called a burgoo.
Some soups have funny names, like mock-turtle, knickerbocker, and cocky-leeky.
A “smash” cake has smashed cookies in the dough.
The word “cake” comes from the old Scandinavian word, “kaka.”
