Book Description
Hang on tight for a raucous bounce through the solar system and back — propelled by funny, fanciful, factually sound poems and exuberant illustrations. The universe poured into me. My brain was overloaded. It smoked and glowed red-hot. And then it actually exploded. Ever wonder what the sun has to say about being the closest star to Earth? Or what Pluto has gotten up to since being demoted to a dwarf planet? Or where rocket ships go when they retire? Listen closely, because maybe, just maybe, your head will explode, too. With poetry that is equal parts accurate and entertaining — and illustrations that are positively out of this world — this book will enthrall amateur stargazers and budding astrophysicists as it reveals many of the wonders our universe holds. Space travelers in search of more information will find notes about the poems, a glossary, and a list of resources at the end.

Poetry for Laughing out Loud
Author: Richard O Jones

Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 77
Book Description
This book is an auxiliary of my Ministry of Laughter and to that end, it is my privilege and appointed duty to sprinkle as much laughter into the world until a psych squad scraps me down and hauls me away kicking and laughing. Laughter can save you from danger. It's true! I once made a street robber laugh so hard that he left me along and robbed my grandmother standing next to me. But granny wasn't one to hold a grudge. Instead of staying angry with me, she later asked me to teach her some one-liners. However, I discovered, years later after she died, that I was the only family member not in her will. Humor has been known to revive dying parties, bring people out of depression, and even restore health. Humor should be shared. What is the benefit of knowing a good joke or funny poem and get anal retentive with it? Not only will you enjoy the easy to remember poems alone but you can share a favorite selection before a boring meeting begins, share with a hospitalized friend, or at a party setting because a good laugh is always welcome. After you purchase this book, the next time you're in the mood for cheer sit down and flip through a few pages, you'll be glad you did... is my prayer.

ISBN: 0316266590
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 196
Book Description
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
