Publisher's summary

"I'm Miss Misinformation, it's my gratifying task
to tell you all you need to know; you only need to ask.
The seas are thick with elephants, the skies are purple straw,
you measure with an octopus, you hammer with a saw.

"Rat for lunch! Rat for lunch!
Yum! Delicious! Munch munch munch!
One by one or by the bunch!
Rat, oh rat, oh rat for lunch!"

©1984 Jack Prelutsky (P)2007 HarperCollins Publishers

Critic reviews

"Yet another masterful collection of poems by the prolific Prelutsky." ( School Library Journal)
"Prelutsky's predilection for playfulness percolates throughout this collection of slyly subversive rhymes." ( Publishers Weekly)

Sillier every time.

Would you consider the audio edition of A Pizza the Size of the Sun to be better than the print version?

I would, considering I haven't read the print version.

What was one of the most memorable moments of A Pizza the Size of the Sun?

The funny characters, especially the guy who hates everything, even bananas.

What does Jack Prelutsky bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Goofy voices he even sings them and has a little band with him.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes.

Any additional comments?

Nope.

It's abridged...

The publisher claimed that the audiobook is unabridged, but in fact, it is abridged. I bought a book of the same title published by Greenwillow Books, Only some of the poems are in the audio book. And some poems in the audio book are not even included in the book at all.
I'd like to cancel the order.
