I didn't know we had a Poet Laureate for kids until today. Mary Ann Hoberman's poems run the gamut from serious to silly. She has written tongue twisting poems, pieces reminiscent of Ogden Nash's Zoo, and kids views of huge events like getting a new brother. If you are writing for kids or just loving some you know, her work is definitely worth your time to read and enjoy.
The Poetry Foundation has a good article about the author.
Here's a link to one of her books of kids poetry on Amazon, The Llama Who Had No Pajama: 100 Favorite Poems
