This author, born in Brooklyn in 1940, was a gifted singer as a child and talented potter and photographer as an adult, but he found his greatest success with his poems for children. He sent poems with illustrations to an editor at Macmillan, who ditched the drawings but loved the verse. He has more than 30 books to his credit, "poems for children who thought they hated poetry." His characters include the Gloopy Gloppers and Baloney Belly Bill. This is Jack Prelutsky.
