Prelutsky, Jack

Stardines Swim High Across the Sky and Other Poems

(2) K-3 Illustrated by Carin Berger. Ingenious book design pairs with inventive poetry to feature unusual critters such as Fountain Lions, Braindeer, and Slobsters. The fun comes in the perfect but unexpected matches Prelutsky makes, such as the Jollyfish, "radiant, / Ebullient blobs of mirth." Berger incorporates found objects, aged paper, and other miscellanea to tag and label the various beasts. The total effect is both whimsical and fascinating.
