		Prelutsky tweaks language with his characteristic glee, wedging in plenty of humor ("Poor Avocadodos, Ungainly and green, You're gone from today's Biological scene") and, as always when Si s is on board, his exquisite artistry raises the bar, adding depth to Prelutsky's light verse.

		The fun thing about it is sometimes having to rhyme, and just seeing what you can come up with about yourself or whatever else.Also you can make up your own words.One of the poems that I really liked is The New kid on the Block.
		It sounds like the new kid is a boy, but it's really a girl.I also like how Jack Prelutsky describes her when he writes "that new kid's twice my size." I hope that other people read this and think and say things like me. Thank you for reading my review.
