Synopsis
Jack Prelutsky has written a series of truly inventive and entertaining poems that are perfectly paired with Carin Berger's witty collage pieces. It's a beautiful picture book with a look and feel unlike any of Prelutsky's prior work.
So put on your pith helmet and prepare to explore a wilderness of puns and rhymes where birds, beasts, vegetables, and flowers have been mysteriously scrambled together to create creatures you've never seen before--and are unlikely to meet again
Your guides--Jack Prelutsky, poet laureate of the elementary school set, and award-winning illustrator Carin Berger--invite you to join them on an adventure you will never forget
