 This picture book collects an all-purpose selection of child-friendly poems. None of the poems were written specifically for this book; all of the poems have been previously published elsewhere. The poems are supposed to be short enough to keep in your pocket and to memorize, but some have multiple stanzas. Between one and three poems appear on a page along with illustrations, making some of the pages feel crowded. The illustrations alternate between humorous and cozy, and provide visual support for the text. Poem in Your Pocket Day is mentioned on the front jacket flap, but it is not addressed within the text, although the first and last poems of the collection are about "pocket poems."
