Prelutsky's book is great - our copy is worn out and I was distressed to learn today that it is "indefinitely out of stock". The paperback version is available, but not hard cover. I'm hoping someone will do a pre-bind of the paperback. If anyone knows where it's available I would love to hear. Sue McGown St. John's School Lower Library Houston, TX
