Synopsis

In this rollicking and witty collaboration on poems for children, Jack and Adam Jelinski have created a world of rhyme and illustration that is magical, touching, and, most often, downright funny. Whether the subject is a princess turning into a frog, a boy who flies with his ears, a vacationing Dalmatian, a boy who walks on his hands, a girl who eats dead fish on the beach, or a monster who unrolls to seven feet tall, Jack Jelinski creates rhymes that will tickle the fancy of young and old alike; and his son, Adam, provides finely crafted illustrations that lend a whole new dimension to the humor and fantasy. Intelligent children and the child in their parents will get a real kick out of this book whenever bedtime rolls around.
