There are few rivalries across history that are quite as formidable as CATS vs. DOGS. In this fully illustrated joke book, they go head-to-head-with a twist or two that may give you...paws. Presented in tête-bêche format (read-from-both-sides), the first half of the book consists of cat jokes told by a recurring cast of dogs-What do you call an insect in a cat's bathroom? A litterbug! But, flip the book over to start from the other side, and it becomes a book of dog jokes told by cats: What's the difference between kibble and a heavy mist? One is dog food, and the other is fog, dude! In the middle spread, the casts of cartoon dogs and cats come together for a midbook finale of, believe it or not, shared giggles, snorts, and guffaws. The comic-book-style illustrations throughout offer added layers of humour, funny visuals, and wisecracking characters who don't just tell the jokes, but comment on and react to them, too.

So gross and so funny! Grandma Gladys gripped her glass of greasy gristle. Toad Lou's tofu is toe goo. Tot totes toy toilet. Let's face it, kids can never get enough of stuff that's slimy, stinky, sticky, and oozy. Combine it with the proven crowd-pleasing format of a tongue twister, and the result is pure silly fun. Co-written by Kit Lively, a veteran of MAD magazine, and David Lewman, an author with riddle books in his resume, Twisted Tongues delivers with 150 original tongue twisters featuring boogers, barf, drool, mucus, pus, gas, poop, and all of the other utterly disgusting things that kids obsess over. In addition to the tongue twisters, the book is packed with delightfully gross illustrations, a recurring comic strip starring two boogers, and wretched riddles and repulsive facts. Did you know that Hippocrates, a doctor in ancient Greece often called the father of medicine, tasted his patients' earwax? (Ewwww.) So move over, boring woodchucks chucking wood. And hello, Big bedbugs bite pet pugs' butts. And Professional pimple popping produces plentiful pus. And Slobbering zombies slumbering soundly.
