Review
With fast, staccato-like poems, words spilling out one after another Calef Brown's book of poems will challenge and delight. A wonderful poetry book for middle grade readers right on up to adults. The wordplay and artwork are absorbing, keeping the reader turning pages to meet Brown's silly, scintillating characters and to absorb his puns and laugh at his asides marching across the bottom of the pages. This is a great collection for those looking for original poetry and where Brown's other titles may already be popular.
Overall Book Score: very good
