Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Fans of Poems of A. Nonny Mouse will rejoice in this effervescent sequel containing more than 50 wittily illustrated short verses. In an introductory letter, Ms. Mouse acknowledges that since the successful publication of her first volume, she's "been able to afford the occasional wedge of imported cheese" and "put away something for her old age." Along with traditional offerings, tongue twisters, limericks and four unlabeled poems by Prelutsky--identified as the editor of Ms. Mouse's scribblings--the book includes the familiar poem about infamous "Ooey Gooey," the worm who ends up squashed on a railroad track, and a subversive rendition of "Row, Row, Row Your Boat" that concludes with "Throw your teacher overboard / And listen to her scream." Priceman's watercolors, like those she executed in Prelutsky's For Laughing Out Loud , are frolicsome and frisky, mischievously expressive. Bird-beaked sunflowers fly through clouds, clothes are draped on a moose's antlers, and the green "three-toed tree toad" spurns a beribboned two-toed tree-toad shown bearing a valentine and flowers. Ms. Mouse, on the jacket depicted riding a cat with cowlike markings over a crescent moon, can be located in similarly larky poses at each turn of the page. Ages 4-10.

From School Library Journal
Kindergarten-Grade 4-- Prelutsky has produced another, possibly even more appealing, compilation than his Poems of A. Nonny Mouse (Knopf, 1989). As in the original collection, he includes a quartet of his own verses with plenty of poems and limericks by his prolific bespectacled pipsqueak of a partner, who is never without her Mary Poppins umbrella and her feather pen. Henrik Drescher illustrated the first anthology with signature aplomb. Here, Priceman's particularly pleasing paintings feature a profusion of expressive watercolor personages who pose, prance, and pirouette across the pastel pages. The poems are playful and often punny, and the perky pictures provide the perfect accompaniment. A priceless performance. Encore! --Luann Toth, School Library Journal
