Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The instant New York Times bestseller featured on NPR's Weekend Edition with Scott Simon! B. J. Novak (bestselling author of The Book With No Pictures) described this groundbreaking poetry collection as "Smart and sweet, wild and wicked, brilliantly funny--it's everything a book for kids should be." Lauded by critics as a worthy heir to such greats as Silverstein, Seuss, Nash and Lear, Harris's hilarious debut 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 such as Lemony Snicket, Judith Viorst, Andrea Beaty, and many others, this entirely unique collection offers a surprise around every corner. 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! "Ridiculous, nonsensical, peculiar, outrageous, possibly deranged--and utterly, totally, absolutely delicious. Read it! Immediately!" --Judith Viorst, bestselling author of Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day

It was fun and silly and it is great for kids" - Goodreads reviewer "This large format book was a joy to read by myself and with its bright, simple illustrations easy to share while spoiling my grand children with lots of funny words that had a natural rhythm." - Goodreads reviewer "I got this for the 4th grade poetry project for my daughter. She is a reluctant reader, but these poems were so funny and engaging for her, that she read her assigned number of poems without complaint. She even memorized one to share with the class." - Amazon reviewer Hi, I'm Steve I've loved my journey becoming a children's poet. I've seen my books enjoyed by kids, adults, and teachers. The best thing about writing for children is seeing them comment about how they've been inspired to read or write more poetry. And when I learned that my poems were being used in schools as teaching aids... well, you can imagine how pleased I was about that.So if you enjoy one of my books or use one in the classroom, do drop a review or find me on the web and let me know what you think - spreading the word helps so much and inspires me to write more. Kids poems, funny illustrations, and humour through-and-through.

How Cecil, as the ice pet is named, proves himself to Ruby—risking his own meltdown—is a story sure to thrill and delight young readers.
