Description
A wonderfully rich, varied, funny and clever collection. Humour at its best from one of America's funniest poets. Please remove seal before using this product, the sign on the box clearly read. I don't have a seal, but I'm taking no chances - I'll toss out my walrus instead. Find out why there are zebras on the ceiling, pizza down your pants, why Dan's the invisible man and wrestling with an octopus is not a good idea, why gerbils are bedraggled and emus are definitely not for approaching...Join the wacky world of Jack Prelutsky.
Author Biography

He has lived in Boston, Albuquerque and Manhatten, but now lives in Seattle.
ReviewsA 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 Prelutsky is up to his old tricks, using verbal sleight of hand to create another magical anthologyof light verse. Booklist A fast-paced and accessible collection that's loads of fun. Horn Book
