Prelutsky New Kids' Poet Laureate

Via Big A little a, I just learned that Jack Prelutsky was named Children's Poet Laureate by the Poetry Foundation yesterday. You can read the Seattle Post-Intelligencer's short interview with Prelutsky, who lives on Washington's Bainbridge Island. (Congrats to the P.-I. and reporter Cecelia Goodnow  for getting that piece up so quickly!) Also see a Poetry Foundation article.
