Summary: The funniest poems ever.
Review: A pizza the size of the sun, has some of the best poems that I have ever read. Although the best one is the main one. It is the pizza the size of the sun. Even though the poems are for younger kids they are great for all ages. If you like poems you should pick up a copy of this book. I recommend this book for anyone who loves poems. Jack Prelutsky could'nt have writen this book any funner.

Review: i found this book a great read because whether your reading it for the first time, or the one hundred twenty-first time it is still entertaining and creative. The illustrations are imaginative and the words flow like a song that you have heard for the first time.

Summary: GREAT BOOK!
Review: I was in my school's Book Fair when my English teacher came up to me. She asked me to look at this book so I did. I skimmed through the page and I was amazed. The poems were so great! She asked me if I wanted the book to be in our classroom and I said yes! I am going to enjoy reading this book in class. I wam also thinking about buying the book myself. You really should read it!

Summary: Engaging! Hilarious! Great fun!
Review: Jack Prelutsky's A Pizza The Slice of the Sun is the talk of my reading classes! The poems are a terrific way to engage my remedial readers' thinking skills while tickling their funny bones -- even on a bad day! They look forward to the silly, creative ways Mr. Prelutsky looks at life, and often ask for an extra "listening skills" activity just to get to hear another round of silly poems. We often use the Random House Book of Poetry for Children edited by Prelutsky and Lobel as well. Another classic sure to put a grin on everyone's face! Who says poetry has to be boring?!? A definite MUST HAVE for any classroom library!

Summary: Teachers! What a great resource
Review: Teachers, this is a poetry book for you to use in your classroom. Being a new teacher, I was fretting about my approach to teaching poetry and making it enjoyable for all my students! I use this book in two lesson plans. In the first lesson plan, I split the class into small groups and gave them a poem to act out for the class. The second, I gave them a poem about an amazing elephant and they had to use the details from the poem to illustrate what the elephant looked like! They enjoyed the lessons tons! I think the key to the success of the lessons was that the poems I used from this book were kid-friendly and funny!

Summary: Just OK
Review: The book A Pizza the Size of the Sun by Jack Prelusty was just okay. I gave this book two stars. My favorite poem was "I Was Walking in a Circle" because it keeps going on and on. Some of the poems were boring. I would not recommend this book to anyone else because I do not like poetry.
