Dragon Jelly

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Sue Hendra & Paul Linnet. "The hairy green magician / makes frogspawn disappear. / Kapow! As if by magic, / frogs hop from Max's ear!" Monster Max's party is gross ("TA-DAH! It's DRAGON jelly time, / their scrumptious, sizzling treat") but not too gross, and the toe-tapping, onomatopoeia-filled rhymes ("SPLAT! SPLODGE!") are the perfect soundtrack for the ooey-gooey art featuring Muppetlike beasts in Smarties colors.
