Canadian poet Dennis Lee"s poetry is well loved by children around the world. This collection of 41 poems was selected by anthologist Jack Prelutsky from Lee"s four previous books of poetry, including The Ice Cream Store. Children in the early grades will chuckle at poems about dinosaurs and alligators, monsters and mud puddles, bears and bees, and belly buttons. Debbie Tilley"s exuberant watercolor illustrations perfectly complement Lee"s verse; both have the same bouncy good humor that kids love. Invite a dinosaur to dinner at your house (and don"t forget some alligator pie for dessert). (Ages 4 to 7)
