Laurie Rosenwald's newest book for kids (big kids like me, too) is the most FABULOUS book in the universe! Its bound to become a classic ....like "Green Eggs and Ham"...or "Harold and the purple crayon". Brilliant and titilating illustrations accompany clever and accessible poetry, witty witicisms and punny prose. What more could you ask for in a children's book? Its a book that plays to the genius in EVERYONE...grownups included!
A kids' book that will become a classic

I am a graphic designer and children's book addict, even before I had a kid. I bought this book spontaneously because it just caught my eye. What a great surprise when I got home and read it! It is a lovingly constructed and beautifully designed book full of silly and inspired verse, fun illustrations, great typography and of course COLOR. It's crammed with goofy surprises and fantastic rollicking word play ("purple is a funny word, rhymes with nothing, sounds absurd"... BRILLIANT!) My daughter is too young to get everything out of it just yet, but I get a giant kick out of reading it to her every night and know that she will continue to learn and enjoy as she grasps the many educational and humor levels from this book. This one is on my must have list.
This book is ALIVE!

This book is so much FUN! My 2.5-year-old requests this book nightly, without fail. The collage-style illustrations have so much POP and the rhyming is silly and smart. I have bought this book over and over as a gift and will continue to do so.
