Summary: Fun for reader & readee...
Comment: My nearly 2 year old daughter has us read this to her over and over. Last week at a restaurant she spontaneously started reciting "Peanut Peg & Peanut Pete". It's fun to read cover to cover or just a few. And I can see her reading it for many years to come.

Definitely a good addition to your child's library.

Summary: Happy Mom
Comment: My son is about to turn 4 and LOVES this book. We make up songs to many on the poems, act out the different siutations and went in search of red suspenders for him. The poems are simple but visual and evocative of seasons, moods and fun. I highly recommend it!!!

Summary: More enchanting chldren's rhymes from Jack Prelutsky
Comment: The frog wore red suspenders
and the pigs worse purple vests,
as they sang to all the chickens
and the ducks upon their nests.

They croaked and oinked a serenade,
the ducks and chickens sighed,
then laid enormous spangled eggs,
and quacked and clucked with pride.

Earlier generations had Edward Lear, Dr. Seuss and Tom Lehrer to introduce them to the wonders of what some might disparage as mere "nonsense" verse. To the list of those for whom words are mere play things, we can add Jack Prelutsky, who presents these poems about people and animals set off in such exotic locals from Monterey to Winnemuca. These poems, intended for children age 5 and up, will introduce young readers to Peanut Peg and Peanut Pete of Atlanta, Spotter and Swatter two talented otters, and an elephant perched on a sycamore tree in Indianapolis. Plus, wait until you see what happens in Tuscaloose, after dark.

"The Frog Wore Red Suspenders" includes over two dozen poems, illustrated by Petra Mathers in a sort of American primitive style that young child will find comforting (my favorite is her painting for "In Minot, North Dakota," where the snowmouse blows away). But the chief charm of this book are the funny verses, especially if the kids happen to find one about the city in which they live.
