"TONGUE TEASERS is a delightful and refreshing book that demonstrates Knight's talent for blending humor with literary creativity. The poems are not only fun to read aloud, but also provoke thought and reflection on the beauty and complexity of language. The book captures the spirit of what makes poetry enjoyable - its ability to play with words, sounds, and meanings in ways that are both entertaining and thought-provoking. What I particularly enjoyed about this book is its user-friendliness. While the poems are clever and layered with meaning, they remain enjoyable for readers of all ages. The anticipation of these poems being set to music adds another layer of excitement to the collection. Knowing that the playful rhythms and clever wordplay can be paired with songs makes the book feel like just the beginning of a larger creative journey. Overall, this is a must-read for anyone who loves poetry, humor, and the joy of language." - Robin
“TONGUE TEASERS: Laugh-Along Songbook Origins - A Taste of the Poems Before the Music by D. W. Knight is a great collection of short poems that are fun to say and teach simple lessons along the way. The author uses his musical talent to create these fun poems which may be written for younger readers but can be enjoyed by readers of all ages. The author uses a variety of poetic devices and rhythm and rhymes to create this fun book and has added great illustrations that help bring the poems to life. This would be a great addition to a school or classroom library in elementary and even middle schools. This could also be a great tool to help teach reader.” - Phil Bolos
“This is a lot of fun. It reminds me a lot of Shel Silverstein’s books, especially Where the Sidewalk Ends. It has the same style of poetry. The poems are somewhat absurd but whimsical with a lot of imagery and subjects that would appeal to young readers. They all have a nice rhythm to them. It serves as a great introduction to poetry and never takes itself too seriously, which is a good thing. Well done.” TD Fleming

"With its charm and engaging content, ‘Tongue Teasers’ is a must-read for families." Amy K.
And at GoodReads:
"This is a very clever book. It is full of really witty poems and limericks and rhymes. The topics range from roller coasters, messy kids rooms, food, flowers, quirky people, insects, absurd situations…. everything under the sun! There are many puns & clever word plays (after a falling out the roses were "buds" again). While wide ranging and unique, the individual offerings tend to end with some sort of "capper" or clever thought that is like a verbal, baddah boom cymbal crash. That adds to the fun. Tongue twisters abound also. I'm not exactly sure what age group this book targets. It's not for very very young readers and actually could range all the way to adults - or certainly teens. If read to (or by) younger readers, many phrases or word plays will need explanation - but what a great opportunity for interplay and learning! I'm not crazy about the illustrations as for me they tend to be on the quick sketchy side of the art spectrum, but they do fulfill their purpose so I suppose that gives them all the cred they need really. To me this book is great for a young teen or perhaps as a sharing book,where a parent and child can share a giggle. If my child was still little, this is the kind of book I would have read with him in installments, each night before lights out. Lots of good ideas here, not redundant at all, wide range of creativity and styles…. a good read!! Oh and ryhming makes it even more fun!" - R Sheldon
“Tongue Teasers is a book about poems that will make you laugh. It also comes with a link for the audio versions which are even more hilarious.” - Chioma

“What an incredible find this has been! Giggle Spoon is such a fun and interactive way for me to get the kids to read. It has helped create an excitement around reading and reduced their desire for 'screen time.' We've used several other similar books however they all sound extremely ‘corporate’ and kids just want fun! Both the artwork and the music are funny and playful. 10/10 recommend for parents to try with their kids!” – Dareh Z. parent

“My son loves his Bumble Bee book! It gives him a lot of happiness and laughter when we listen and sing along! Pictures are well illustrated and the rhythm is just outstanding! Thank you very much Giggle Spoon!” Madina E. parent

“As a medical professional, I can attest to the importance of handwashing as an effective way to prevent the spread of germs and keep people healthy. As a mother, I know how challenging it can be to get kiddos to form excellent habits. This book and song are great tools for parents and teachers to make handwashing meaningful for children. The book takes a hilarious look at germs and how they need to be washed away. It will help build quality hand hygiene skills that will last! This book is an entertaining and informative must-read book for children that makes handwashing fun.” – Colleen F., Nurse, MSN, RN, CAPA
“Wee Beasties is an adorable picture book bound to inspire my preschoolers to wash their hands. The author’s peppy and engaging rhyming text, combined with the bright and vibrant illustrations, and a creative song, lead to a fun reading and singing experience. Wee Beasties will definitely be part of my beginning of the year rotation when establishing classroom routines. I can’t wait for my preschoolers to experience Wee Beasties!” – Kelly G., Preschool Teacher, Public School
“As a Kindergarten teacher, I absolutely LOVE Wee Beasties especially during this time when spreading germs is much more of an issue than it has ever been before. I didn’t think handwashing could be so much fun. The song would be an amazing thing to teach students to sing while they wash their hands so they really do wash all the germies off.” – Debbie B., Lead K/1 Teacher, Private School
“I loved reading Brushing. It is a humorous take on dental hygiene that opens the discussion to a variety of topics including hobbies and being kind. This book would be an excellent read during a classroom focus on dental hygiene. I especially appreciated the practical parental advice for helping their kids take care of their teeth.” – Debbie B., Lead K/1 Teacher, Private School
“My preschoolers’ favorite time to sing is while reading books. We love our collection of singable books! Bonnie McBower is the perfect addition to our classroom collection. Singing and following along with the words is a great way to build language skills and learn new words. Bonnie McBower is a must with all the rhyming words and colorful illustrations.” – Kelly G., Preschool Teacher, Public School
“Smelly Feet is one of my favorite [GiGGLE SPOON] books that I have read. It made the topic of making sure you wash your feet humorous. I love the combination of humor and practicality that I find on all the [GiGGLE SPOON] books. – Debbie B., Lead K/1 Techer, Private School
