Monster and Pirates and Kids, Oh Boy!

Oh give us a home where the crocodiles roam, where the water is murky and gray. Where we snack on small bugs, worms, newts and slugs, and we’re a mosquito buffet! Home, home in the swamp, where we cheerfully frolic and romp. Where we schmooze with the rats, leeches and gnats, and neighbors who are likely to chomp! Ahoy! Welcome to a smorgasbord of poems guaranteed to tickle the funny bone and delight the ear! From the depths of the swamp to the deck of a pirate ship, this zany mixture of characters is sure to bring smiles and chuckles to readers of every age. Imagine rubbing elbows with the Little Swamp Rats who will serenade you will the splendors of living in the swamp. Or testing your skill with a cutlass against that of Hammerhead Hannah, a fearless pirate queen that even the boldest of buccaneers dare not cross! And if you think you’re clever, try matching wits with a genie who can easily get the better of you with a simple wave of his hand. These are only a few of the amusing characters you will encounter in the pages of The Other Side of Normal! So if you like situations with a humorous twist then this book is the book for you! A wonderfully wacky new assortment of poems written by Bill Schoff and illustrated by Dan Dodge.
