The New Kid on the Block


Bibliographic Information: Prelutsky, J. (1984). The New Kid on the Block. Illus. James Stevenson. New York, NY: William Morrow & Company.

Brief Annotation: This book has over 100 children's poems that discuss important topics like: boneless chickens, jellyfish stews, bad moods and what it would be like to fall off a mountain! Prelutsky uses fresh humor, snappy rhyming rhythms and challenging vocabulary. These poems would make for humorous classroom lesson icebreakers.
Genre: Poetry
Grade Level: Pre K-4
Readers who will like this: Readers of all ages will appreciate Prelutsky's witty and verbally challenging poems.
Response/Rating (1-4): I thoroughly enjoyed these poems! They are fast paced, stuffed with challenging vocabulary, yet related to any child--or adult. I rate this book, 4 of 4.
