Pizza, Pigs, and Poetry: How to Write a Poem: by Jack
Prelutsky. Have you ever tried to write a poem about a pizza? How about a pig? How about a pigeon, penguin, potato, Ping-Pong, parrot, puppy, pelican,
porcupine, pie, pachyderm, or your parents? Jack Prelutsky has written more than a thousand poems about all of these things-and many others. In this book he
gives you the inside scoop on writing poetry and shows you how you can turn your own experiences and stories about your family, your pets, and your friends
into poems. He offers tips, advice, and secrets about writing and provides some fun exercises to help you get started (or unstuck). You'll also get a
behind-the-scenes look at the ingredients of some of his most popular poems. If you are a poet, want to be a poet, or if you have to write a poem for
homework and you just need some help, this is the book for you! Jack Prelutsky is the nation's first Children's Poet Laureate. He has filled more
than forty books of verse with his inventive wordplay, including the national bestsellers Scranimals and The New Kid on the Block. He lives in Washington
State.
