From the worst repair man ever, to a malfunctioning robot, and more, this book is hilarious.

Something Great Has Been Heard Here

This is one of the first Jack Prelutsky recordings I have ever heard during my schooling days as a kid. This audio title contains 24 poems taken from Prelutsky's 1990 book of poems. One of my favorites is "My Brother Built a Robot".

"Something Big Has Been Here" is a favorite title to share with Prelutsky fans and poetry lovers everywhere. It's highly recommended! What more needs to be said?

Great rhymes wrecked by too much music

Jack’s rhymes are soooo entertaining, but they’re hard to hear clearly over all that music. Just a few musical fills to enhance his delivery would have been so much better.
