Recalling Shel Silverstein's "Falling Up" by way of Comedy
Central's "South Park," Burkland's collection of bawdy rhymes is as
clever as it is irreverent, skewering the politically correct at
every turn. Never crossing the line into the profane, he is able to
entertain while pushing the limits of the crude, silly, and
sophomoric. Perfect bite-sized nuggets of hilarity that are sure to
leave you laughing out loud, Rhymes My Mother Never Told Me tickles
the funny bone as it challenges the status quo.
Wonderfully playful and always mischievous, Burkland's debut
defiantly thumbs its nose at the world of propriety and decorum.
This collection features beloved classics such as: "Sweet Bread
Farts," where Nick's special talent is having the gas he passes
smell like freshly baked maple bars; "Tony's Tiny Bladder," where a
boy with a tiny bladder goes from disgraced pants-wetter to
superhero; and "Sammy Squirrel's Tragic Picnic," where Sammy
Squirrel and his animal friends are enjoying a tasty picnic...until
a speeding truck puts an end to their fun. The author turns the
world on its head to find humor in the oddest of places.
Illustrations by Duncan Beedie bring to life the wonderfully
twisted world of taunting floaters, adventurous boogers, untimely
sneezes and squirrels in imminent danger.
