Other editions of book Jelly Belly

To generations of children, Dennis Lee is known as a wizard of words, the author of such classics as Alligator Pie, Garbage Delight, The Cat and The Wizard, and the bestseller Bubblegum Delicious. With Jelly Belly, originally published in 1983, Lee created a new Mother Goose. As playful and hilarious as our traditional nursery rhymes, Jelly Belly combines toe-tapping poetry with the beguiling illustrations of Juan Wijngaard (winner of the Mother Goose Award). Jelly Belly is the ideal book-for children ages one to five, for older brothers and sisters, for parents, grandparents and any grown up who remains young at heart.

More than 20 years after its original publication, Dennis Lee’s classic The Dreadful Doings of Jelly Belly continues to enchant readers of all ages with its irresistible mix of modern humor and traditional Mother Goose charm. His rollicking, raucous poetry is laugh-out-loud funny, yet simple enough for even the youngest reader to follow. Nora Hilb’s vibrant illustrations are the perfect match for Lee’s whimsical, sometimes deliciously gross text. Available for the first time in a sturdy board book format, the poem stands ready to capture a new generation of young — and young-at-heart — readers.
