(And many people would happily see him crowned with no age qualification.) The New Kid on the Block and Something Big Has Been Here are household words wherever there are kids. Here is another wondrously rich, varied, clever - and always funny - collection. 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. The Prelutsky-Stevenson duo is irresistible. Whether you begin at the beginning or just open the book at random, you won't stop smiling. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Fantastic FunThis book is full of hilarious poems that have kept my 8 year old son asking for more. The book is on his summer reading list from school. Rating: - Pizza the size of the sunLove, love, love this poetry book. My daughter (age 7) couldn't put it down. She recieved it Christmas Eve and finished it the same night. Rating:  - I really like Jack PrelutskyAlthough I returned this book for quality reasons, I have owned a copy for a long time. The book is very fun and I love how there is some advanced vocabulary. It is a great way to introduce new words in a very fun way! It's hardly like learning at all, but that's what happens. The poems are a lot of fun! I purchased the book with the intention of giving it to a three year old. Some of the poems do include sarcasm and/or negativity that I wouldnt read to her just because she wouldnt yet ...

I gave my grandson a gift certificate at the book store, and he picked out this book of poetry. Clever, fascinating poems with subject matter appealing to kids. Imagine a boy chosing a poetry book out of the 1,000s of other books on the shelf.Check out Jack's web site for a glimpse into his working brain--so colorful. Read the letters kids have sent him (prepare to laugh until your jaw hurts). See why he's so great? Rating: - For All AgesA Pizza the Size of the Sun was by far my favorite book of poetry when I was a child. I memorized "I'm Usually a Speedy Horse" for an audition for a play once. Recently, I saw this book in a store and immediately snatched it up (along with an "It's Raining Pigs and Noodles" umbrella). Reading through it again, I found that the poems aren't just for children. Granted the themes maybe be childish, the language itself is more sophisticated. Some poems are very adult (not in an obscene way, of course) such ... Read More
