THANK YOU JON SCIESZKA
There was a kids' author named Scieszka
For two years he served children's lit-cha
Our case he did plead,
These kids gotta read,
Today we're saluting this Ambassada!
There was a young boy named Jon,
Who grew up with five brothers to pick on,
They did five person vomits,
And off roofs flew like comets,
"Knuckleheads!' said their dad when he caught em.
There was a young teacher named Scieszka
To be an author was all that he want-a,
He wrote THREE LITTLE PIGS,
That book sold really big,
And changed kids' lit for a whole lotta ya.
There was an author named Scieszka
And books he has written a-plenta,
Whether it's science or math,
Kids just gotta laugh,
In his books that happens, you betcha!
There was a kids' author named Scieszka
For two years he served children's lit-cha
Our case he did plead,
These kids gotta read,
Today we're saluting this Ambassada!
