About the Author
Lenny Hort, whose books include
How Many Stars in the Sky?, a Reading Rainbow Review selection, and the forthcoming
The Seals on the Bus lives in New Jersey with his wife, Laaren Brown, and their daughters, Sophie, Irene, and Pheobe.
Mr. Hort notes, "I start a nonsense poem by thinking about something ordinary and then blending it with into its opposite: Tabby dog, Purple oranges. A beast darker than a polar bear. I try to look at the world as if I were an alien who can't quite remember which earthling word goes with which person, place or thing."
