"Laugh out loud funny, and a tiny bit disturbing. In other words,
perfect." - The Huffington Post An amusing and captivating tale
that's a delightful primer for laughing at the inevitable: If
you're a dinosaur, all of your friends are dead. If you're a
pirate, all of your friends have scurvy. If you're a tree, all of
your friends are end tables. Each page of this laugh-out-loud,
illustrated humor book showcases the downside of being everything
from a clown to a cassette tape to a zombie. Cute and dark all at
once, this hilarious children's book for adults teaches valuable
lessons about life. From the sock whose only friends have gone
missing to the houseplant whose friends are being slowly killed by
irresponsible plant owners (like you), All My Friends Are Dead
presents hilariously entertaining stories about life and
existential predicaments. The simple yet effective imagery, the
personification of inanimate objects, and short, hilarious quips
come together to create an amusing adventure through each
character's unique grievance and wide-eyed dilemmas. Written by
Avery Monsen, an actor, artist, and writer and Jory John, a writer,
editor, and journalist. They are friends, and neither is dead. Yet.
All My Friends Are Dead is both the saddest funny book and the
funniest sad book you'll ever read. Children's book written for
adults Displayed in an accessible cartoon form
There once was a youngster named Chester van Chime Who woke up one
day and forgot how to rhyme. Chester loved rhyming, in poem or
song. It always felt right, but today it felt...not right. VERY not
right. Chester van Chime is usually the BEST at rhyming. He can
normally tell you all about cats wearing hats and snails delivering
mail, but today, something has changed. Today there's no dog on a
log. No duck in a truck. Just a Pomeranian on a sideways tree and a
waterfowl in a full-size pickup. What's a kid to do?! Filled with
irresistible wordplay and whimsically silly illustrations,
bestselling creators Avery Monsen and Abby Hanlon's read aloud
tells the story of a boy who learns not to be stressed if he's not
at his...tippy-top peak performance.
From the authors of the breakout national bestseller All My Friends
Are Dead (more than 100,000 copies in print) comes a brand new
illustrated compendium of the humourous existential ruminations of
people, animals, legendary monsters, and inanimate objects. Readers
will appreciate the plight of the light bulb whose only friends are
burnouts, the caterpillar whose friends have all really changed,
the cookie whose friends are crumbs, the cactus whose friends
always kind of look like they're flipping you off, the robot who
was not programmed to understand the concept of friendship, and
many more, and fans new and old will laugh (and cry) out loud with
this new, darkly funny celebration of the inevitable.
From the authors of the breakout bestseller All my friends are
dead. (more than 175,000 copies sold) and in the humorous vein of
Go the F**k to Sleep comes a laugh-out-loud collection of bad
advice that turns the children's alphabet book on its head.
Adorable illustrated characters lead readers down a path of poor
decision-making, and alphabetical, rhyming couplets offer terrible
life lessons in which O is for opening things with your teeth, F is
for setting Daddy's wallet on fire, and R is for Raccoon (but
definitely not for rabies). With plenty of playfully disastrous
choices lurking around every corner, this compendium of black humor
may be terrible for actual children, but it's perfect for the
common-senseless child in all adults.
