Monday's troll is mean and rotten,
Tuesday's troll is misbegotten...
As for Wednesday's troll--and all the others--as soon as you read about them, they will be in your head (and heart) forever.
Once again the collaborators of The Dragons Are Singing Tonight have combined their extraordinary talents to concoct an irresistible collection of trolls, wizards, witches, giants, ogres (and a solitary yeti). No spell is needed for these poems and pictures to enchant the reader. Just open the book!
"Jack Prelutsky is up to his usual hilarious no good in this new collection of witchy, wizardly, ogreish poems....Among the subjects of these briskly amusing poems is a wizard who rashly makes himself disappear, a seven-century-old apprentice witch....and a family-type ogre....Prelutsky's skill with catchy rhymes and delightfully fiendish subject matter is complemented by Peter Sis's humorously foreboding and cheerfully nonchalant illustrations. Another treat for Prelutsky fans."--Horn Book."synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Jack Prelutsky is the best-selling author of more than fifty books of poetry, including The New Kid on the Block, illustrated by James Stevenson, and Stardines Swim High Across the Sky, illustrated by Carin Berger. Jack Prelutsky lives in Washington State.
Prelutsky sings, narrates and dramatizes his poems as he performs a medley of rhymes about mythological creatures. The musical accompaniments, ranging from bluegrass to folk songs, complement both the poetry and the performer. Prelutsky's diverse, strong and emotionally changeable voice easily meets the challenge of multiple characters. He seems to have an endless variety of personalities, from trolls to wizards, with lots of variety in between. Timing the lines for the most effect, Prelutsky adroitly sets the pace for each poem, ensuring the full effect of humor and enjoyment. P.A.J. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
