My Head Has a Bellyache

" 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" (Publishers Weekly), " 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!
