This hilarious follow-up to the New York Times bestselling poetry
book I'm Just No Good at Rhyming is full of surprising twists of wit
and wordplay that will have readers rolling on the floor laughing!
"Highly recommended, it gets 5 stars and 8 moons and a chef's kiss and
a tip of the hat and a jump in the lake from me."--Bob Odenkirk,
award-winning actor, writer, and comedian
I'm Just No Good at Rhyming is this century's most acclaimed comedic
poetry collection so far, described as "a worthy heir to Silverstein,
Seuss, and even Ogden Nash" (PublishersWeekly), "wildly
imaginative...inspired and inspiring" (Kirkus), and as "everything a
book for kids should be" (B.J. Novak). Now, Chris Harris delivers all
that and more with dazzling new heights of creativity, kooky conundrums,
witty wordsmithing, and of course, wacky laugh-out-loud fun!
There's a whole new cast of characters to meet, from the Nail-Clipping
Fairy (who delivers teeth at night), to Orloc the Destroyer (who can
be defeated only by his mommy), to the Elderly Caveman (who complains
about the younger generation obsessed with playing with fire). There are
more mind-bending verbal and visual riddles, plus there's plenty of
hilarious hijinks hiding around every corner, whether it's a buffalo
that escapes one poem and roams through others or a meteor threatening
to land on the book and obliterate everything. There's even a mini
book-within-a-book! In between it all, cartoonist Andrea Tsurumi's
diverse range of exuberant people, creatures, and anthropomorphic
objects ripple through the pages with playful energy.
If your head has a bellyache as you read this book, it will only be
because you're laughing WAY. TOO. HARD!
