A PIZZA THE SIZE OF THE SUN

Kid favorite Jack Prelutsky sings his way through two dozen poems from his 1994 collection, spinning raucous rhyming tales about the likes of Zeke McPeake, Dan the Invisible Man, and Gladiola Gloppe (and her Soup Shoppe). Prelutsky is joined by an ensemble of singers and a band of musicians who play banjo, saw and guitar (with the poet himself playing kazoo). This merry gang brings excitement to the mostly up-tempo songs. I can easily imagine kids (and some adults) tapping toes and singing along. Sixty minutes of fun.
