The king and queen invite our narrator to tea every day. Every day, our narrator asks if he can bring a friend, which always ends up being a zoo animal. At the end of the week, the king and queen join him and all their friends at the zoo for tea.

Sing a Song of Popcorn is a child's collection book of poems. This book of poems contains various topics such a spooky poems, story poems, weather poems, fun with rhymes and many more. This book offers such a wide variety of poetry and topics that I believe it would be great for any elementary age K-2nd grade. This poem book offers s wide range of poems that will definitely catch the students interest in at least one poem.
