A Pizza the Size of the Sun
I'm making a pizza the size of the sun, a pizza that's sure to weigh more than a ton, a pizza too massive to pick up and toss, a pizza resplendent with oceans of sauce.
I'm topping my pizza with mountains of cheese, with acres of peppers, pimentos, and peas, with mushrooms, tomatoes, and sausage galore, with every last olive they had at the store.
Here is a wondrously tasty--and always funny--collection of more than 100 poems for readers of every age. Meet Miss Misinformation and Gladiola Gloppe (andher Soup Shoppe), and delight in a backward poem, a poem that never ends, and scores of other poems to read and love. You won't stop smiling!

'Penguins cautiously reside
on our planet's underside,
where they're careful not to cough,
lest they trip and tumble off'
Over one hundred fast, funny, clever and bizarre poems, accompanied by brilliantly playful illustrations, explode from the pages. Forget serious and stuffy, these poems are pure magic! This dynamic and mischievous collection promises to have you in stitches again and again.
"Prelutsky is up to his old tricks, using verbal sleight of hand to create another magical anthology of light verse."
