. . . a fabulous quote from children's poet Jack Prelutsky: "Children are not stupid; they're just short."
How sweet is that? He was talking about his use of big grown up 50 dollar words in his poetry, like gelatinous. This makes complete sense to me, as I can still remember when I encountered some of those big $5o words for the first time as a child.
Kudos for Mr. P, who is creating future poetry lovers even as we speak!
