Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
Calef Brown uses funky-folksy illustrations and cheeky verse to describe fourteen imaginative vignettes. The younger set will enjoy spreads featuring topical buzzwords and images near and dear to them in Seven Bad Teeth, Runaway Waffle, Mysterious Fish and Olf (the impoverished pirate). Older children appreciate the unexpected scenarios of grandma jamming for adoring fans, beetles powdering donuts on a sugar beach or commuters floating away with bubble gum balloons. Kids pick up on your own amusement in reading the clever tale of a Moon Reunion and the limerick spoof Jack in the Bucket. Children ages two to seven will smile and puzzle over this wonderfully odd book.

A wonderful follow-up to one of the most clever and fun children's books of last year. Mr. Brown's illustrations -- vivid, color-saturated, witty, and just sinister enough to keep adults and kids interested -- are heightened by DUTCH SNEAKERS' delightfully loopy verse.
