Volume One of Grin Tails* For Children Whatever Age is the first in a series of books that adults and children will enjoy. In it, some of the classic children's stories are redone with an upbeat humorous twist. The new titles give us a clue, for example: Big Red Riding Hood, Ginger Ella, and The Three Little Chickens.

Even the title with it's spelling ("tails" instead of "tales") alerts us to the fact that something is a bit different here.

If Yogi Berra, Steve Martin and Douglas Adams had a baby together, the result might be something like this book. Our understanding of human biology would certainly be changed, at any rate. This compilation of random funny thoughts is simultaneously dark and naive; both off-the-wall and relatable; paradoxically smart and stupid. Peek into the mind of Dan of the Day and laugh at the dearth of its contents.

THE MARX BROTHERS IN WELL, ALL ENDS IN A COMEDY, BY ERROR The Marx Brothers did more than make movies, as they also appeared in live plays. This one, from 1937, is a hilarious spoof of "A Mid-Summer's Night Dream," among others of Shakespeare's works. Groucho is Tylenol, the King of the Fairies, while Chico is Aleve, a rustic shepherd. They meet in the enchanted forest of reversals, where the opposite of what is intended usually occurs. So they each decide to pursue the ladylove of the other, from whom they receive lessons on how to win a female heart. You can imagine the results no, trust me, actually you cannot.

The spellbinding mock history of the Department of Agriculture's most secretive and vital agency
The little-known USDA Agency of Invasive Species -- founded by President and humble peanut farmer Jimmy Carter -- would like to reassure you that they rank among the most effective and cost-efficient offices within the sprawling federal bureaucracy. For decades, under Administrative Director Adam Humphrey and his "strategic disengagement" approach, the Agency has epitomized vigilance against the clear and present danger of noxious weeds. Humphrey's record of triumphant inertia faces only two obstacles. The first is reality; the second is the loud critic who dares to question the magic behind the Agency's success: Nicholas Bader. Formerly known as President Reagan's "bloody right hand," Bader is on an obsessive quest to trim the fat from the federal budget.
Full of oddball characters who shed light on the daily operations of Beltway minions, THE WEED AGENCY showcasesa world in which federal budgets balloon every year, where a career can be built upon the skill of rationalizing astronomical expenses, and where the word 'accountability' sends roars of laughter through DC office buildings. That's life inside the federal Agency of Invasive Species... and it may sound suspiciously similar to your reality.

In our modern world of social media and texting, what kind of powers would superheroes need to preserve civilization? This is a collection of humorous short stories that takes a lighter look at mighty heroes and their adventures.

What makes a fairy tale Irregular? Hansel & Gretel's parents refusing to allow the kids to be adopted by fairies because they disapprove of the fairy lifestyle. Rumplestiltskin teaching a young woman to keep her promises. A prince for Rapunzel who never mastered rope climbing in gym class. Tom Thumb's mother refusing to allow him to date the one girl his size because she's Protestant. Not fairy tales for children - although frequently childish - Irregular Fairy Tales are much more fun than a trip to the ball, and less expensive too, when you consider how much interest Fairy Godmothers are charging these days.
