Reviews
Irrepressible, unpredictable, and raucously popular children's
poet Kenn Nesbitt was spawned in the same cracked petri dish as
Jack Prelutsky, to whom he is the natural heir. A title guaranteed
to generate "No, wait, read this one " responses, "The Armpit of
Doom" is more mayhem from one of the masters.
(J. Patrick Lewis, US Children's Poet Laureate, author of "Please
Bury Me in the Library")
Kenn Nesbitt wrote a book of poems
A funny one I think.
And though it's colored black and white
Watch it tickle you PINK
(Douglas Florian, author and illustrator of "Comets, Stars, the
Moon, and Mars: Space Poems and Paintings")
Kenn Nesbitt's brain is the clown car of children's poetry. I
don't know how they all fit in there, but they keep tumbling out,
one after another, each one funnier than the one before it.
(Eric Ode, poet and songwriter. Author of "When You're a Pirate
Dog and Other Pirate Poems")
I liked "Armpit" (the book) a lot. Armpits aren't my favorite
body part.
(Bruce Lansky, author of "If Pigs Could Fly... And Other Deep
Thoughts" and "My Dog Ate My Homework")
Despite the many warnings ("Please Don't Read This Poem ") kids
cannot escape the odorous allure of Nesbitt's THE ARMPIT OF DOOM No
problem. They won't want to Instead they will find "There's only
one solution. Here's what you'll have to do: Tell all your friends
and family they shouldn't read it too "
(Charles Ghigna, AKA "Father Goose," author of "Score 50 Poems to
Motivate and Inspire")
What makes this collection most special are the contemporary
details sprinkled throughout (the iPod, XBox, and Kindle, Red Bull,
J.K. Rowling, scrunchies, computer woes). Kids will really love the
clever nonsense in poems like "On the Thirty-Third of Januaugust"
and "It's Fun to Leave the Spaces Out." Teachers, beware:

Fans of Kenn Nesbitt will gobble up this new offering, which
combines his infallible command of rhyme scheme with the
hilarious--yet oddly contemplative--wisdom of a child pondering the
world.
(Joyce Sidman, author of "Swirl by Swirl: Spirals in Nature")
