Annotation: The master of silliness releases 17 poems that introduce oddly wonderful and uniquely skilled creatures who are combinations of animals and inanimate objects: ballpoint penguins, a spatuloon, a tubaboon, and more. Berger's collage illustrations combine a delicious sense of color and design, adding to the whimsy and fun. Full color.

Publisher Description:

Jack Prelutsky has written a series of truly inventive and entertaining poems that are perfectly paired with Carin Berger's witty collage pieces. It's a beautiful picture book with a look and feel unlike any of Prelutsky's prior work.

So put on your pith helmet and prepare to explore a wilderness of puns and rhymes where birds, beasts, vegetables, and flowers have been mysteriously scrambled together to create creatures you've never seen before--and are unlikely to meet again

Your guides--Jack Prelutsky, poet laureate of the elementary school set, and award-winning illustrator Carin Berger--invite you to join them on an adventure you will never forget
