"I'm Captain Conniption, / and up to no good, / you'll soon walk the plank / if I think that you should, / I'd show you right now / how I vanquish a foe, / but I hear my mother, / so I have to go." Other subjects near and dear to children's hearts make fabulous fodder for fun, including sibling rivalry, bad table manners, meatloaf, and bats. Illustrator James Stevenson's lively line drawings capture Prelutsky's goofy poetic antics perfectly, making this collection another essential addition to any child's library. <I>(Ages 4 to 12)</I> 485472 8 9 1990 Something Big Has Been Here (rpkg) total:143|5:54|4:55|3:32|2:2|1:0| 143 590 176 11 630593 0688064345 9780688064341 142 11 4.13 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1176495656m/630593.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/630593.Something_Big_Has_Been_Here 4 0 false Fri Aug 28 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 31 09:28:19 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 31 09:33:16 -0700 2009 The New Kid on the Block which is MINE) growing up.
