Dopie Dope Goes to the Fair Poetry for Children

In each of Joe Larke's first three poetry books there was a single poem featuring a character named "Dopie Dope". This unique character jumped out of the pages & into the hearts of children everywhere. Now, Dopie Dope has taken center stage as the main character in this enchanting rhyming story. The story is a sensory delight as the sights, sounds, tastes, & smells of an old fashioned fair come to life in Dopie Dope's day of adventure. The full page color illustrations add great visual excitement to the trip. Ferris wheels & bumper cars, cotton candy & hot dogs, a clown & a monkey who like Dopie, doesn't wash in soap are just a few of the attractions that children will encounter in this rhyming tale. Joe Larke has a gift for seeing life through the eyes of a child & he very skillfully teaches the young that poetry is a form of expression that can be as much fun as a day at the fair.
