In Behold the Bold Umbrellaphant, the master of silliness introduces oddly wonderful and uniquely skilled creatures who are combinations of animals and objects.

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.

Here are more poems bursting to be listened to, chanted, laughed over, and remembered. It would be hard to find a school-age kid who has not read or heard a Prelutsky poem and who does not want to hear another.

The poet laureate of the preposterous takes on the wonders and absurdity of the holidays in this collection of poetry read by Prelutsky himself. From Valentine's Day to Christmas, Prelutsky captures these milestones of childhood with delightfully silly poems.

Have you ever encountered an underwater marching band, a pig in a bathing suit, a pet orangutan, or a witch in a hardware store? Have you ever sat with a skunk in a courtroom, shopped for a dinosaur, or conversed with a Bupple, a Wosstrus, a Violinnet, or a Celloon? You will have, once you've listened to this exuberant collection from Jack Prelutsky.
