About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is in a silly, high-energy mood or when you want to break up a serious day with a burst of nonsensical laughter. It is an ideal choice for the child who feels like a bit of an oddball and wants to see that being 'different' can be hilariously fun. The Queen of Eene is a collection of fourteen rhythmic, witty poems featuring a cast of bizarre and eccentric characters like Uncle Bungle and Curious Clyde. Through Prelutsky's masterful wordplay, children explore themes of creativity and wonder while seeing that mistakes and quirks are part of a colorful life. Most appropriate for children ages 5 to 10, this book serves as a perfect introduction to the joys of poetry, proving that literature doesn't always have to be serious to be meaningful. It is a celebratory escape into the absurd that encourages kids to embrace their own inner silliness.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. The book is secular and lighthearted. While characters encounter minor 'perils' (like being covered in glue or failing at a task), the treatment is entirely metaphorical and absurdist.
