Plot Summary
With over 40 books of poetry, author Jack Prelutsky continues to delight readers both young and old with this collection of twenty-eight silly poems! Travelers will enjoy “Ten Mice Went To Denver” and “There Was A Man In Mexico” along with the numerous other geographical themes featuring animals and children. Be ready to sit and smile as you journey through this peppy book of prose!
Critical Analysis
This book is best read aloud to hear the rhyming couplets and silly lines! The poem titled “Peter Ate A Pound Of Pudding” shows a child who has no desire to eat spinach. “Peter ate a pound of pudding and a pumpkin pie, Peter ate a layer cake eleven inches high. Peter ate a cookie that was bigger than his cat. He never ate his spinach- Peter had no room for that”. Any mother with children will relate to this charming poem. The illustrations on each double page spread are bright watercolor paintings which fit perfectly with the lighthearted collection of poems. Sharing Prelutsky’s whimsical poems with children will be a delightfully, silly way to pass an afternoon!
