Author: Jack Prelutsky
Poetry grade level K-2
This book is a collection of poems about gargoyles, vampires, trolls, and other demons. There are 17 different poems that kids will enjoy reading. Though it is written at a primary grade level, I would suggest it to more upper adolescents to read. Jack Prelutsky uses a lot of humor in the poems but some may still seem scary to younger readers. Also, there is a lot of good vocabulary words that can be explored from this book such as: lament, sheathe, reprehensible, perennially, and many others. I enjoyed these poems because a lot of them are funny and silly. I think older elementary children would also enjoy reading them, especially boys because it does focus on darker and more evil topics.
