Prelutsky, Jack

Behold the Bold Umbrellaphant and Other Poems

(2) K-3 Illustrated by Carin Berger. Berger's sophisticated visual wit pairs with Prelutsky's verbal ingenuity to create unconventional animals--the Ocelock, the Clocktopus, and the Tubaboons, to name a few. In each of the seventeen poems, Prelutsky combines an animal with an inanimate object and then evokes the purpose of the object in the animal's behavior. The clever collage art uses reproductions of old-fashioned illustrations of objects.
