Illustrated by
James Stevenson.
Prelutsky and Stevenson's years of working together have only sharpened their skills. Although many of the more than one hundred poems will amuse five-year-olds, others contain sophisticated wordplay that will also appeal to fourth and fifth graders. Stevenson's jaunty watercolor and ink pictures extend the mood of each poem; poet and artist have created a book brimming with wit.
