I’m a huge fan of the strange, odd, and macabre. When I was younger I devoured stuff by Charles Addams, Tim Burton and Roald Dahl. That being said, this book of rhymes by Elias Zapple, this wonderfully twisted, off the wall collection of weird to even weirder characters and stories written in some of the catchiest poetry I have read in a long time, this is genius! A modern classic! I just wish this was available when I was about oh, seven or eight years of age. In fact this would be wonderfully appropriate into the tween years.Some of this stuff will be repeated, talked and joked about by young boys and girls for a long time after reading it, especially the collection of mischievous takes on classic children stories and nursery rhymes toward the end of the book. What fun kids will have after reading this book. I am so jealous! Mr. Elias Zapple, we all know you are as old as dirt, maybe even older. Why oh why didn’t you write this thirty years ago!? What great memories this would have made! But oh well, I have it now! And I’ll read it again and again!!Get this book!
