description: Meet Chris Harris the 21st-century Shel Silverstein! Already lauded by critics as a worthy heir to such greats as Silverstein Seuss Nash and Lear his hilarious debut poetry collection molds wit and wordplay nonsense and oxymoron and visual and verbal sleight-of-hand in masterful ways that make you look at the world in a whole new wonderfully upside-down way. With enthusiastic endorsements from bestselling luminaries as Lemony Snicket Judith Viorst Andrea Beaty and many others this entirely unique collection offers a surprise around every corner: from the ongoing rivalry between the author and illustrator to the mysteriously misnumbered pages that can only be deciphered by a certain code-cracking poem to the rhyming fact-checker in the footnotes who points out when poetic license gets out of hand. Adding to the fun: Lane Smith bestselling creator of beloved hits like It's a Book and The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales has spectacularly illustrated this extraordinary collection with nearly one hundred pieces of appropriately absurd art. It's a mischievous match made in heaven!
