My students have always enjoyed Jack Prelutsky’s lighthearted, fun poems. Your posting is a good reminder for me to pull out some of his books for my two kids at home.
My eight year old daughter and I love Jack Prelutsky. His Read a Rhyme, Write a Rhyme books sounds like a great gift for my daughter’s teacher. Thanks for the idea!
