Book excerpt: There's the Flotz (who gobbles dots -- watch out if you've got freckles), the Phillyloo Bird and the Wendigo, the Hum Bug Machine and the Ogglewop...just try to imagine them! From Lewis Carroll's classic "Jabberwocky" to Dr. Seuss's tongue-twister "The Drum-Tummied Snumm", here are poems just a little bit spooky, poems that are downright funny, and quiet little poems that invite creative thinking. Some of the notable poets represented here are Ogden Nash, John Ciardi, Florence Parry Heide, Spike Milligan, Karla Kuskin, and, of course, Jack Prelutsky. Kevin Hawkes's colorful paintings explore the outer reaches of where a truly great imagination can take one!
