Happy Birthday....

Jack Prelutsky!  He's one of my favorite children's poets, and kids LOVE his stuff!  He's silly and quirky.  Here's an excerpt from "Be Glad Your Nose Is On Your Face:"

Be glad your nose is on your face,

not pasted on some other place,

for if it were where it is not,

you might dislike your nose a lot.

Imagine if your precious nose

were sandwiched in between your toes,

that clearly would not be a treat,

for you'd be forced to smell your feet.

Stop by the library and check out some of his awesome, silly poetry collections!
