Be Glad Your Nose Is on Your Face Written by Jack Prelutsky Illustrated by Brandon Dorman Ages: 7-11
When you're in the world of Jack Prelutsky, anything can happen.

This magnificent treasury of more than one hundred of Jack Prelutsky's most celebrated verses, along with fifteen all-new poems, is a tribute to his gifts to children's literature over the past forty years. Illustrated by rising star Brandon Dorman and featuring a CD with classic performances by the poet himself, it is the perfect volume for any poetry lover's bookshelf.

Awful Ogre Running Wild Written by Jack Prelutsky Illustrated by Paul O. Zelinsky Ages: 4-8
So awesomely awful, there had to be more! In this companion to Awful Ogre's Awful Day, Jack Prelutsky and Paul O. Zelinsky team up once again to bring us more of Awful Ogre's hilarious adventures. And he is wilder and grosser than ever! In his newest escapades, detailed in gruesome poems with squirm-inducing illustrations, Awful Ogre visits his disgustingly dear grandmother, enters a cook-off with a nauseating original recipe, goes on a picnic with his ogress girlfriend, and engages in many other activities too awful to list. Above all, Awful Ogre is celebrating ogre pride: "I am an awful ogre, delighted to be me."
