There’s a bit of Silverstein and Gorey here, in the best ways, but DeRoche and González concoct a distinct flavor of their own. Endlessly entertaining, constantly creative, and heaps of fun."

––American Library Association (ALA) Booklist

Marshmallow cars! Mudshakes with hollandaise sauce! Airborne ungulates! A fun, fantastical

collection—chock full of creative wordplay, memorable characters, and wild scenarios.”

––Calef Brown, NYT bestselling author of Polkabats and Octopus Slacks

"Like Ogden Nash or Shel Silverstein before him, Tim DeRoche delivers a book of subversive, tall-

tale poetry that will delight children and their grownups, especially those ready to squirm free of the

confines of adult logic."

––Aaron Becker, Caldecott Honoree and author/illustrator of the Journey series

Clever and witty, with charming illustrations. Makes me nostalgic for Shel Silverstein and Edward

Gorey."

––Katy Towell, author of Skary Childrin and the Carousel of Sorrow
