Description

This collection contains over 100 humorous poems from a poet who has created a world where it rains pigs and noodles, hapless Peter turns into a parking meter, it's awkward being taller than the average giraffe and where you should watch out for something lurking deep in the refrigerator. In this world you can also meet an underdog who is overweight, dancing hippopotami, sniffing snutterwudds, the world's fastest turtle and Scottish pigs on stilts

Author Biography

Jack Prelutsky has written more than thirty books of verse, edited several enormously popular anthologies (and been extensively anthologized himself), translated a number of books, and is always at work on the poems for at least three future books. He has lived in Boston, Albuquerque and Manhatten, but now lives in Seattle.

Reviews

A Pizza the Size of the Sun "Prelutsky's robust appreciation of the absurd percolates througout this playful, kid-friendly verse, while Stevenson wrings a wealth of emotion and humour out of just a few dashes of ink." Publishers Weekly It's Raining Pigs and Noodles Prelutsky and Stevenson have cooked up another hilarious storm, so get out the umbrella -- and make it a big one! Amazon
