If you've read The New Kid on the Block, you have some idea of the treat ahead. And if you haven't, all you have to do is start reading! Here are four vain and ancient tortoises, a rat of culture, Super Samson Simpson, a meat loaf that defies an ax, five flying hotdogs--and many, many more people, animals, and things that are destined to become part of the lives of everyone who loves to laugh. Say them, chant them, learn them by heart, or just read them - Jack Prelutsky's poems are incomparable. Rolling in the Aisles (ISBN: 0881664731) 2004 Well-known poets like Jack Prelutsky and Shel Silverstein are represented as are some lesser-known authors. The selections are arranged loosely by standard topics: families, friends, animals, holidays, Mother Goose spoofs, etc. Kids will enjoy the irreverent treatments of familiar topics: "My goldfish died this morning/At exactly half past seven./My mother helped me say a prayer,/Then flushed him into heaven." Many of the poems make fun of things kids love to slam, such as school lunch: "Our school lunch is from outer space,/Endangering the human race." Carpenter's illustrations capture the punch line of each selection, adding to the humor. A kid-pleasing choice for any poetry collection. Shipping IncludedShipping weight is 3 lb.
