Synopsis
Taking a swipe at stuffiness, this sly collection shows Prelutsky’s robust appreciation of the absurd. Humour at its best from one of America’s funniest poets.
Please remove seal before using this product,
the sign on the box clearly read.
I don’t have a seal, but I’m taking no chances -
I’ll toss out my walrus instead.
Find out why there are zebras on the ceiling, pizza down your pants, why Dan’s the invisible man and wrestling with an octopus is not a good idea, why gerbils are bedraggled and emus are definitely not for approaching... Join the wacky world of Jack Prelutsky
