Review # 1 was written on 2013-03-10 00:00:00 Thomas Hunt Like Shel Silverstein, Jack Prelutsky writes poetry for children that speaks to children, rather than just about them. As a result, the poems are silly and full of humor and truth, and never take themselves too seriously (except when they need to, such as in "When I Am Full of Silence," a truly introspective piece). Reading A Pizza the Size of the Sun and A Light in the Attic concurrently, I discovered that I preferred Prelutsky's simpler, more realistic poems. There are still absurdities, like made-up creatures and aliens and physically impossible situations. However, there is less...how should I say, sinister overtones to this collection. In fact, there are quite a few that are gentle and downright touching (I'm looking at you "When I Grow Up"). A fine compilation.
