New Book! The Jingle Poems by Carolyn Wells

Carolyn Wells worked as a librarian. She also wrote 170 books. During the first ten years of her career, she concentrated on poetry, humor, and children's books. The Jingle Poems is a classic collection for young readers. She later began writing mystery stories which became popular and made her a household name. A sample of her fun from this collection:

Betty Botta bought some butter;

“But,” said she, “this butter’s bitter!

If I put it in my batter

It will make my batter bitter.

But a bit o’ better butter

Will but make my batter better.”

Then she bought a bit o’ butter

Better than the bitter butter,

Made her bitter batter better.

So ’twas better Betty Botta

Bought a bit o’ better butter.
