And though it's colored black and white Watch it tickle you PINK! (Douglas Florian, author and illustrator of Comets, Stars, the Moon, and Mars: Space Poems and Paintings) Kenn Nesbitt's brain is the clown car of children's poetry.

Author of When You're a Pirate Dog and Other Pirate Poems) Fans of Kenn Nesbitt will gobble up this new offering, which combines his infallible command of rhyme scheme with the hilarious--yet oddly contemplative--wisdom of a child pondering the world.
