Meet Lonely Fred, Fretful Jack, Runnin' Ray, and all Eleven Masons along with many other characters on the pages of "Ice for Rent."

You'll see Bentley's Cattywampus Compass, Chucky's Trampoline Shoes, Spike's Remarkable Bike, and many more.

Some of these poems are stories in miniature. Others are pure word play. All of them bring a smile.

Light verse and illustrations for the 6-10 year old crowd from Steve Stinson.
