Review:

A Pizza the Size of the Sun
“Prelutsky’s robust appreciation of the absurd percolates througout this playful, kid-friendly verse, while Stevenson wrings a wealth of emotion and humour out of just a few dashes of ink.”

From the Back Cover:

'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.
