SKU | 4829341218235 |
The childhood ritual of being put to bed has been a source of inspiration for children (and frustration for grownups) throughout the ages. Prolific children’s poet Jack Prelutsky has taken this undeniable truism and run with it in My Parents Think I’m Sleeping.
Jack Prelutsky has filled more than fifty books of verse with his inventive wordplay, including the national bestsellers The Wizard, Scranimals, and The New Kid on the Block. He is also the author of Be Glad Your Nose is on your Face, a collection of his most celebrated verses. He was named the nation’s first Children’s Poet Laureate by the Poetry Foundation. Jack Prelutsky lives in Washington State.
“Prelutsky turns his rollicking poetry talents to the problems and thoughts of bedtime. Unlike his Nightmares (Greenwillow, 1976), the night visions in these 14 poems are lighthearted rather than scary. “A Spooky Sort of Shadow” is really just a brush and comb; the monster in “When I’m Very Nearly Sleeping” can be frightened away by a bedside light . Abolafia’s drawings, accompanying each poem, reinforce the book’s domestic, comfortable tone. A literary dessert for collections that, like the narrator of the poem “Chocolate Cake,” have “got an empty space.””–School Library Journal
