Genre: Poetry
=== __Don't Bump the Glump and Other Fantasies__ is a fun and mysterious series of poems focused on the subject of monsters. When I was little this was my favorite book and I knew it by heart. This book has many different monsters and characters as the story moves on so there are no main characters. The only character that repeats is Shel himself woven into the story. Even though there are no main characters the book still has a story line. After each time a new monster is introduced it tells about the monster's qualities, its likes and its dislikes. The names of the monsters are not always easy to pronounce. For example a name of a monster its "Zrbangdraldnk." These poems are short and maybe a little hard to read but I strongly recommend this book to any one who is willing to read about "Dickerees and Flying Festoons". ===

=== I chose to nominate this book for a couple of reasons. One reason is because it was my dad's favorite book when he was little. This book is so old the copy I have isn't in print any more and is __Uncle Shelby's Zoo.__ I don't exactly know why they changed it but I prefer the older title. The other reason I chose to nominate this book is not many kids have read it and I want more kids to know about it and like it. I hope you choose to read this terrific poetry book. ===
