Very good way of teaching youngsters about dinosaurs. 5 out of 5 stars.
6 of 7 people found this review helpful.

I read this book for the simple reason of having an interest in dinosaurs. I had never seen dinosaur poetry before and was quite amazed at how the author wrote at a child's level to know more about dinosaurs. I think that if a child has interest in dinosaurs, this book is a fun way to go about learning. It not only teaches them about dinosaurs and the way they lived, what they ate, etc., but also about poetry at the same time. This was a dinoriffic book! I recommend it to everyone with an interest in dinosaurs. :)

Tyrannosaurus Was a Beast 1 out of 5 stars.

"...Allosaurus liked to hunt,and when it caught its quarry,it tore it open,back and front,and never said," I'm sorry!" Allosaurus liked to eat,and using teeth and talons,it stuffed itself with tons of meat,and guzzled blood by gallons." If you think your child does not see enough violence on TV then you should buy this book!

Editorial Review:

"In an intriguing combination of fact with rollicking rhyme schemes and full-page portraits, the dinosaurs are rejuvenated once again to amuse and amaze their devoted fans....These poems are readable, quotable, and unforgettable....A wonderful book to savor--again and again."--Horn Book.

For Laughing Out Louder: More Poems to Tickle Your Funnybone 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

Everyone should read this book. While intended for a younger audience, people of all ages would find the humor of each poem and pun within the pages of this short but hilarious book. Cute illustrations can even be found illustrating each poem with a simple yet well done picture. I simply can't recommend this book enough!

Editorial Review:

In a splendidly silly sequel to their 1991 collaboration, For Laughing Out Loud, Jack Prelutsky and Marjorie Priceman return with 72 hilarious short verses guaranteed to leave kids weak with laughter.  There are poems about food, school, sibling rivalry, and hungry beasts, plus a wonderful potpourri of nonsense verse, tongue twisters, and limericks by nearly 40 of the best contemporary poets for children, including Shel Silverstein, John Ciardi, Mary Ann Hoberman, and of course, Prelutsky himself.  Marjorie Priceman's ebullient illustrations perfectly capture the sidesplitting humor of these rollicking read-aloud--or read-alone--gems.

Fun and Easy Listening! 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

My 3 year old son and I love this CD! It's easy listening, and not at all irritating like some other children's music out there. It's based on the book, but is not a book on tape, it is a music CD, with the songs very beautifully sung with a mellow country and western feel. The lyrics are catchy and my son even sings along, (and learning how to pronouce various cities in the USA...)
A nice CD!

Editorial Review:

Impossible to listen to only once, these exuberant poems are filled to the brim with smiles and silliness and are sure to be loved by children from Miami to Seattle.

So much to see! So much to do! Listen to this audio book and... meet people and animals in such far-flung places as Minot, Minneapolis, Tuscaloosa, Tucumcari, and the Grand Canyon.... Smell the tall flowers in Aunt Giraffe's garden, sip juice with a big blue goose, eat oodles of noodles with some poodles, and much, much more!

Ugg indeed... 4 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

A nonsense book of poems about imaginary monsters and the lives they lead. This work carries the distinction of marking the first time James Stevenson (the illustrator) worked with the ever popular Jack Prelutsky. A word of advice: Do not read any Shel Silverstein books prior to this work. Anything after "A Light In the Attic" is bound to feel a little paltry. While the similarities between the two books is striking, "Baby Uggs" is less impressive. Nonetheless, there's a great deal of creativity going on here. Prelutsky has fun with words and sounds and even becomes a bit risqué at points. Because the text is so short, this book will work as an introduction for toddlers to the world of poetry.

College student 4 out of 5 stars.

This is a collection of twelve poems. The humorous poems are about creatures that are strange. There was a creature that gobbled up items in a classroom, including the teacher! One was a Dreary Dreeze, and this one needed to not squeeze anyone. The Grubby Greebles chewed gravel as they traveled. The Slithery Slitch, who was rich, rode in a limousine.
This was a funny book. I especially enjoyed the one about the creature eating the teacher. The illustrations complimented the poetry well. This book will help to make poetry fun!

Editorial Review:

"Prelutsky, in a dozen breezy, lilting poems, creates twelve wildly improbable creatures and Stevenson matches them with wildly silly and totally engaging drawings."--Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books.

Entertaining, Wonderful Illustrations 5 out of 5 stars.
65 of 66 people found this review helpful.

This book is a treasure for the child who likes monsters! The poems are funny and give a good spin to being a monster and the illustrations are not overly ghoulish, though probably thought provoking in some instances. I do think though that age 4 is a little to young for this book - it really should be for a child who can distinguish real from fantasy as it introduces topics that might be scary to the child who still thinks monsters COULD be real. It was too much for my 5 year old nephew, the eight year old loved it.

Editorial Review:

Nobody but Jack Prelutsky and Peter Sis could thrice dip into a bubbling cauldron of spooky fun and produce The Dragons Are Singing Tonight, Monday's Troll, and now The Gargoyle on the Roof. Young fans who've been growling for more from this remarkable pair will devour these seventeen new poems. And whether they prefer gargoyles, griffins, or gremlins, this one-of-a-kind collection of poetry and ingeniously eerie paintings provides something for everyone to chant out loud, memorize--and shiver over!

It's winter!

The trees are bare, the days are short, and the first sparkling snowflakes are falling from the sky.

Master of rhyme Jack Prelutsky creates a flurry of winter verse, just right for ushering in the season of ice and snow. Lively, warmth-filled illustrations by Yossi Abolafia enhance these sixteen delightful poems.

tremendously funny 4 out of 5 stars.
4 of 4 people found this review helpful.

I read this book to my nephew and we giggled our way through the whole thing. The poems are quite imaginative. Some are long, others short. All very funny. My nephew is only 4, and he enjoyed picking out the things "that really wouldn't happen." He and I both loved it

Editorial Review:

For the first time, the poetry of Dennis Lee, the Pied Piper of children's verse, has been collected in one rousing volume by the inimitable Jack Prelutsky. From food fantasies to schoolyard chants and monster mayhem, Lee really knows how to tickle kids with words. There are quiet poems, rude and rambunctious poems, and some pure nonsense verses that trip off the tongue, begging to be said over and over again. Others capture the attraction of a muddy puddle or the somnolent rhythm of windshield wipers on a rainy day. There's something for everyone in this wonderful collection of read-aloud or read-alone rhymes and Debbie Tilley's (Riddle-icious) buoyant imaginative watercolors are an open invitation to jump in and join the fun.
