Jack Prelutsky is a poet, anthologist, singer and guitar-player. Jack has been entertaining us with his poetry for nearly 30 years. For three decades, his creativity and whimsy have not become old or not fun.It's Raining Pigs & Noodles was one of his many poems, published last summer, and the very funny story-in-verse, Awful Ogre's Awful Day [excerpt], due out in September. I recently had a fast-paced, wide-ranging phone conversation with Prelutsky, in which he told me the origins of some of his poems, sang a few ditties, and talked about what it was like to write with Dr. Seuss looking over his shoulder. Jack Prelutsky has enetertained many with his amazing poems.
