Jack Prelutsky reinvents many familiar and beloved animals by combining inanimate objects with them (so, for example, a pair of pants and an anteater become a \u003cem\u003epanteater\u003c\/em\u003e). Carin Berger's illustrations are showstoppers. Her shadow boxes and dioramas utilize vintage type, ephemera, and such elements as ribbon, cards, buttons, and wood and bring the animals to life. Read it aloud, read it together: this is a catalog of effervescent silliness and will undoubtedly inspire young poets and artists alike. \"The total effect is both whimsical and fascinating, with rich language in the poems and unexpected objects in the pictures to return to over and over again.'--\u003cem\u003eThe Horn Book\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jack Prelutsky\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0062014641\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780062014641\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Greenwillow Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/26\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 40\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.98lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.47h x 11.59w x 0.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 5.1\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.5\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Lower Grade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e163766 \/ Stardines Swim High Across the Sky and Other Poems\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2012 pg. 46\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/24\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2013 pg. 95\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/15\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHorn Book Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2013 pg. 130\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBulletin of Ctr for Child Bks\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2013 pg. 433\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2013 - Superior,Well Above Average","brand":"Jack Prelutsky","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44761011814655,"sku":"9780062014641","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_780c2aec-97cc-4f63-a705-dd93d7fe5d29.jpg?v=1706680122","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/stardines-swim-high-across-the-jack-prelutsky-9780062014641","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
