5 . When Jack Prelutsky was a kid in New York more than fifty years ago, he didn’t know he would grow up to write poetry for children.

Neither of his parents read poetry to him when he was little. When his fourth-grade teacher read poems in class, he thought they seemed boring. To nine-year-old Prelutsky, poetry seemed like serious business. And Prelutsky was anything but serious. “I wanted to hear poems about myself — about outer space and sports and music,” he says. “So I started to think of poetry as punishment.”

Prelutsky had always taken voice and piano lessons, but when he attended New York’s High School of Music and Art, his love for music grew deeper. “I liked the way songs said what they had to say — the simple, direct, ordinary language they employed. I really think that’s what made me see poetry in a new light.”

Then Prelutsky took a drawing class in his early twenties and found he wasn’t very good at life drawing. But he was good at drawing imaginary animals.

In six months, Prelutsky drew a lot of imaginary animals with strange characteristics. He loved each one, but felt something was missing. “Then one evening, I looked at them and said, ‘They need poems.’ I still don’t know why I thought of it, but within half an hour, I had all the poems written.”

Publishing the poems never crossed Prelutsky’s mind in those early days. But when friends fell in love with his poems, he agreed to share them with a children’s book editor.

“She didn’t think much of my illustrations (插图),” he says, “but she told me that I was a natural poet and encouraged me to keep writing.”

At the time, Prelutsky was surprised at the editor’s encouragement. But more than forty books later, he’s still making friends and fans laugh. From monsters to frogs, Prelutsky has turned silly into an art form.

6 . Brooklyn Andracke is a big fan of her garbage man, Delvar Dopson, who always honks (按汽车喇叭) and _________ when passing her house every Thursday morning. "To Brooklyn, he is our _________ smiley garbage man," her mother, Traci Andracke said.

Brooklyn's interest in Dopson _________ because his truck would drive by their house in Illinois every Thursday right around the time Traci and Brooklyn were _________ the daycare center. When the pair started going outside to see the truck, Brooklyn _________ Dopson driving the huge truck. "It became all about him after that," Traci said. "It wasn't the 'garbagetruck' anymore, but it was the 'garbage man that she _________ to see."

So on April 7, when Brooklyn turned 3, the little girl wanted to _________ part of her big day with him. She patiently _________ outside her home until Dopson pulled onto their street. When Traci waved to Dopson, Brooklyn _________ him with one of her birthday cupcakes.

"As a mom, I can't even describe how __________ it made me that she got to__________ meet him," Traci said.

Dopson was "immediately speechless," Traci said. "I __________ to him that he makes our day every Thursday, and we really __________ the honking and waving, and how special a day it is for us," she added. "After he left, we continued on to daycare. Brooklyn was unusually quiet in the backseat. I asked her if she was okay, and she __________ and nodded happily."

The following week, Dopson gave Brooklyn a belated (迟来的) birthday __________. It was a toy from her favorite movie, "Frozen". In return, Brooklyn made him a thank-you note, which he's since displayed with __________ in his truck.
