BOOK CONNECTIONS:
The New Kid on the Block by Jack Prelutsky
Something Big Has Been Here By Jack Prelutsky
KEYWORDS: Variety, short, long, humorous, imaginative
This is not a book I would have just picked up to read, but after reading it; I have a different outlook about picking up a book of poems to read. Prelutsky’s poems have a rich vocabulary that our children would benefit from. Children would definitely enjoy this book, for its humor, imagination, and rhythm.
