A romp of a tale about the surprising similarities between
dinosaurs and children Iamasaurus. I am noodlevorous. One of the
genus Ridiculorous. Mothers abhor us. Babies adore us. We romp and
we stomp and we chomp on the floras. Turns out kids are not unlike
T. rexes. Did you know both creatures share many of the same body
parts-maxillae, mandibles, clavicles, ribs. Scapulas, humeri,
tibias, fibs? This fun romp of a book will make young readers'
inner dinosaurs roar with delight.
A funny story, full of wordplay, brings poetry alive as never
before! Kilmer Watts makes his living teaching piano lessons, but
when automatic pianos arrive in town, he realizes he's out of a
job. He spots a "Help Wanted" sign at the poem factory and decides
to investigate - he's always been curious about how poems are made.
The foreman explains that machines and assembly lines are used for
poetry these days. So Kilmer learns how to operate the "meter
meter" and empty the "cliche bins." He assembles a poem by picking
out a rhyme scheme, sprinkling in some similes and adding
alliteration. But one day the machines malfunction, and there is a
dramatic explosion at the poem factory. How will poetry ever
survive? Kyle Lukoff's funny story, rich in wordplay, is
complemented by Mark Hoffmann's lively, quirky art. The backmatter
includes definitions of poetic feet, types of poems (with
illustrated examples) and a glossary of other terms. An author's
note explains the inspiration for the story. Key Text Features

An irreverent and unusual ABCs book featuring a fun and foul cast
of characters A is for apple unless you’re being chased by a
bloodsucking vampire, then A is for Aaaaaagghhh!! in this
irreverent and unusual ABCs book that will have readers laughing,
but hopefully not vomiting, all the way from A to Zee End.
Half Note doesn’t feel whole. With two beats, she isn’t as big
and beautiful as Whole Note, or as quick and upbeat as Quarter
Note. She worries she’ll never measure up! So when the other
members of the musical staff are at rest, she picks up like a fast
tempo and leaves. But Composer and the staff can’t play anything
noteworthy without Half Note. Their only hope is to convince Half
Note to change her tune and come back. This hilarious, offbeat tale
of sheet music in treble will strike a chord with anyone who’s
felt out of sync, ringing with reassurance that everyone has a part
to play when working as a team. At the coda, readers can develop
their ear with a glossary of musical terms included.
