    About this audiobook

    I'm Miss Misinformation, it's my gratifying task to tell you all you need to know, you only need to ask. The seas are thick with elephants the skies are purple straw, you measure with an octopus, you hammer with a saw.

    Rat for lunch! Rat for lunch! Yum! Delicious! Munch munch munch! One by one or by the bunch—Rat, oh rat, oh rat for lunch!

      This book is filled with silly poem by Jack Prelutsky. Here are some of the poems in the book , "The Jellybean Brigade", "Gloppe's Soup Shoppe", "I think my computer is crazy", and "A pizza the size of the Sun". As you can tell they are all pretty silly which is a good way to engage students in poetry. It also helps that some of these poems the students can relate to because they understand what the poem is saying. I think this is a good poetry book to read aloud to a class and engage students in poetry.

      I enjoyed reading the poems in this book. Cute and interesting poems.
    • 5/5
      There is no way someone could not love this book. This book of poems is perfect for any age. The younger grades can practice reading and pronouncing the "made-up" words as well as the real words in the poems. The rhymes and the way the author experiments with syllables will also help student's phonemic awareness. For older grades the students can learn the memorize and analyze the poems possibly finding hidden meanings in the work. All of the poems are easy to relate to for students of all ages and there is a picture along with the poem helping to grab the readers' attention as well as understanding of the material. I love this poem book and believe Prelutsky's poems should be taught in class.
    • 5/5
      I really enjoyed this book for many reasons. The main purpose of this book is to entertain the reader in an educated way. Every single poem I read in this book made me laugh or giggle. The author uses extremely precise vocabulary to create funny puns or ironic circumstances among other situations. For example, one of the poems takes advantage of homographs. The author uses words that would normally be associated with an activity but applies them in a different way. In addition to using words creatively James Stevenson also uses a lot of synonyms. This means that the author thinks about how the reader can benefit and learn from the poems. In addition to having imaginative poems, the book has an appropriate and generally funny illustration to go along with it.

      Summary: A collection of poems by Jack Prelutsky. Poems like "A Frog, A Stick" about what the little boy has in his pockets are meant to be funny and entertaining for children. Personal Reaction: The poems are very funny, some my be tough for younger children to grasp but there are plenty that are for all ages.Classroom Extensions: 1. The poems in this book would be great for introducing children to poetry. 2. We could read a sampling of the poems, maybe focus on the food ones, then work as a class to create one. After they see how one is written, they can write their own.

      SummaryThe entire book is a collection of poems all y Jack zprwlutsku, and you can see afterdeck adding some why kids would love them. The humor or the basic idea of the poem is usually relatable to someone who is younger than 16 but also a good fun read for adults especially to their children.Personal reactionI loved it, when I was younger I had so many different Shel Silverstein books and I loved them I remember laughing out loud to them. I found this book very similar and could see how children would love it.Class extensionRelating just to the poem A Pizza The Size of the Sun,makes. Giant class room pizza, or a bunch of individual ones, real or fake.Introduce simple rhyme schemes to students and have them write their own poems about their favorite food.

      Miss Misinformation thinks she knows it all. She just knows when it comes out of her mouth she is right. However, the skies are not purple straw but she seems to know it all. She believes she is filled with fact and figures but she is filled with fiction. She believes she can answer any question so just ask Miss Misinformation.A Pizza the size of the Sun is a book full of funny poems about randomness. I know someone like Miss Misinformation and boy do they believe they know all. They do not but then again no one knows everything. This is a great poem book I plan to keep to put in my classroom.In the classroom, I would have my students picka poem out of this book and memorize it to say in front of the other students. I can also have them write and read aloud their poems.
    • 5/5
      This poem is really good because it is really funny such as the part when the guy meets the dozen of duhduhs and the dozen of duhduhs always says duhduhs. I think that this book is really good for everyone and this book was my favorite poem.
    • 4/5
      This book is about a boy who makes a pizza the size of the sun with many toppings.I remember when I was little I used to help my mom in the kitchen and she would make a huge cake that would last for days.Classroom extension ideas that I would use for the classroom is have students tell about food that they make.
    • 3/5
      This volume of poetry is funny in a Shel Silverstein kind of way, but not as funny. Children are sure to enjoy the poems, though a few of the poems that are backwords, etc. might be hard for the younger ones to read. This is definitely a must have for a unit on poetry.
