Description: A collection of poems written from the point of view of Kermit the Frog about his fellow Muppets, including Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear, and Gonzo. Each poem is illustrated.
Notes: The title is a spoof of Robert Louis Stevenson's book, A Child's Garden of Verses (1885).
This was meant to have been one of many volumes of books filled with poetry based on the Muppets; however sales of this title did not meet expectations and a contract with Prelutsky was cancelled.
