The Poetry Foundation has named Jack Prelutsky the first Children's Poet Laureate. Citing a need to inspire a love for poetry in children as a driving force behind the new award, the Poetry Foundation recognized Jack Prelutsky for his many poems and books that have enraptured children for years. Mr. Prelutsky received a Children's Poet Laureate medallion and a two-year appointment that will include major public readings, and advisorship to the Poetry Foundation on issues relating to poetry for children.
