A book of mostly humorous poems for children.  iclairei | Dec 6, 2009 |  This is a super silly collection of children's poems. Jack Prelutsy's poems are very similiar to Shel Silverstein. Short and silly. There are perfect for a child to memorize. These will also be great for children to read aloud in class or at home. Poems include, "An Alley Cat with One Life Left", "My Dog, He is an Ugly Dog", and "Ounce and Bounce". There are simple silly illustrations that match each poem. This is a great addition to any library, especially as a children's introduction to poetry so they know it is fun and easy. (  ) jscheper | Dec 2, 2009 | Of course I love this book, it's full of witty, sarcastic, humorous poetry geared towards children and the like. It has poems about ideas and creatures that appeal to a child's imagination, like the Snillies and The Flotz. It is tons of fun! (  ) petajaye | Sep 15, 2009 | I had to buy this for my niece after I found myself starting a poem from the book and not remembering how to finish it. Imagine that - it's been at least 16 years since I had this book, yet I could still recite stanzas at will. How frustrating it was not to have all of them! Jack Prelutsky is one of the best children's poets out there. You MUST have this book - indoctrinate your kid in the joys of reading poetry aloud when they're young, and you'll never have to unteach them "poetry is boring" when they're older. (  ) conuly | Jun 17, 2009 | This collection of poetry by Jack Prelutsky are excellent silly poems that children will love to read. The poems are mostly nonsense poems that will just bring a smile to your face. ( ) ktibbs | Jun 7, 2009 |  no reviews | add a review

Take "Jellyfish Stew." "You're soggy, you're smelly, / you taste like shampoo, / you bog down my belly / with oodles of goo, / yet I would glue noodles / and prunes to my shoe, / for one oozy spoonful / of jellyfish stew." Poems about greedy grannies, exploding Bloders, and hypothetical situations such as having your nose unfortunately situated between your toes are guaranteed to delight you and your favorite kids. Quirky, surprising, and always delightful, Prelutsky's poems make us wish we'd grown up with his books in hand. Illustrator James Stevenson's loose pen-and-ink sketches are lively and fluid, waltzing along perfectly with Prelutsky's playful poetry. Once you and your children have howled your way through this ALA Notable Book, you'll be happy to discover that this talented pair has created two other meaty collections, including Something BIG Has Been Here and A Pizza the Size of the Sun. (Ages 4 to 12)
