Description

Meet Chris Harris, the 21st-century Shel Silverstein! His debut poetry collection is already receiving critical acclaim, being compared to literary icons such as Silverstein, Seuss, Nash, and Lear. The collection combines wit, wordplay, nonsense, oxymoron, and visual and verbal illusions in captivating ways that transform the reader's perspective of the world. The book is uniquely crafted with surprises at every turn, including a rivalry between creator and illustrator, misnumbered pages decipherable only by a special poem, and a rhyming fact-checker calling out poetic exaggerations. Renowned illustrator Lane Smith complements the text with nearly a hundred pieces of whimsical art, enhancing the playful and mischievous nature of the collection. Endorsed by luminaries like Lemony Snicket, Judith Viorst, and Andrea Beaty, this collection is a delightful and innovative addition to the world of children's poetry.
