Jack Prelutsky is the undisputed master of hilarious verse for the youngest child. Here are poems about people and animals, set in such far-flung places as Minot, Minneapolis, Tuscaloosa, Tucumcari and the Grand Canyon.
Impossible to listen to only once (and memorized by the third listen), these exuberant poems are brought to fanciful life in song and music sure to be loved by children from Miami to Seattle.

In a winning combination, John Guth has made folksy arrangements of Jack Prelutsky's poems. Prelutsky's poetry is engaging and memorable by itself, and the addition of toe-tapping music and Prelutsky's own strong vocals will have listeners humming and singing "The Frogs Wore Red Suspenders" and "Peanut Peg and Peanut Pete" all day long. This collection is perfect for the preschool and younger elementary set, and a fun choice for family listening. Prelutsky's got rhythm, and he's got music. Who could ask for anything more? A.F.
