About the Book



From the gifted creators of the outrageously popular "The New Kid on the Block" and "Something Big Has Been Here" comes yet another wondrously rich, varied, clever--and always funny--collection of poems destined to become favorites. A host of Prelutsky-Stevenson oddballs and characters people the pages of this zany book, which also includes a backwards poem and a poem that never ends. Full color.



Book Synopsis



From the best-selling team of Jack Prelutsky and James Stevenson, here is another collection of wondrously rich, clever, funny, and delectable poems and black-and-white drawings destined to become favorites.

Discover and enjoy a dozen duhduhs, a puzzled python, and the coolest teenage hippopotamus you'll ever meet. Meet Miss Misinformation, Swami Gourami, and Gladiola Gloppe (and her Soup Shoppe), and delight in a backwards poem, a poem that ever ends, and scores of others that will be changed, read, and loved by readers of every age. Whether you begin at the beginning or just open the book at random, you won't stop smiling.

"Prelutsky's a natural rhymester. He has a keen sense of what tickles kids."--Kirkus Reviews



From the Back Cover



I'm making a pizza the size of the sun,
a pizza that's sure to weigh more than a ton,
a pizza too massive to pick up and toss,
a pizza resplendent with oceans of sauce.

I'm topping my pizza with mountains of cheese,
with acres of peppers, pimentos, and peas,
with mushrooms, tomatoes, and sausage galore,
with every last olive they had at the store.

Here is a wondrously tasty--and always funny--collection of more than 100 poems for readers of every age. Meet Miss Misinformation and Gladiola Gloppe (andher Soup Shoppe), and delight in a backward poem, a poem that never ends, and scores of other poems to read and love. You won't stop smiling!



Review Quotes




"Prelutsky loosens his agile imagination in words, while around the pages cavort Stevenson's interpretive line drawings, shimmy-shimmying to the beat. Terrific." -- Kirkus Reviews (pointered review)

"This book should be required reading for those out there who claim they don't like poetry." -- School Library Journal (starred review)

"Poetry's bad boys are back again, teaming up to take another swipe at stuffiness." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"If a laugh is what's needed, just hand over the keys and let these two drive." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review)
