Tell A Friend About This Item

Near new condition - no jacket as issued, only very light wear, a little corner & edge bumping, interior pages clean & unmarked. Great colour illustrations! From Publishers Weekly: A dynamite team, Prelutsky and Sis (The Dragons Are Singing Tonight) are back on the job, once again dishing up a smorgasbord of verbal and visual delights. They return here to the theme of enchantment, but of the non-fire-breathing type this time around. With his practiced pen, Prelutsky goes right for the funny bone, and his nimble rhymes shine when spotlighting such creatures as the crotchety witch ("My rooms are suffused/ With perennial gloom, / I never go out, / I've retired my broom") , a mother ogre's grotesquely funny lullaby to her hideous offspring ("Stifle your tantrum, no kicking, don't bite. / Close your red eye... Baby ogre, good-night") , and of course the troll of the title ("Monday's troll is mean and rotten, / Tuesday's troll is misbegotten")..... Ages 4-up. "; 8vo 8" - 9" tall
