From acclaimed writer A.F. Harrold comes a riotous poetry collection that encourages readers to think critically–perfect for fans of Shel Silverstein!

Packed with silly rhymes and witty wordplay, A.F. Harrold’s poetry is positively bursting with fun–and advice. But it’s not always the most useful…

Never apologize to a door you’ve walked into, unless it’s a really special door.

Don’t serve a cat soup when the cat wants jelly. Tomato soup won’t fill a feline belly.

Don’t put a rock in a roll, unless you hate having teeth.

Among the seemingly nonsensical stanzas on onions, sausages, and kilted koalas are exercises in critical thinking–what advice should readers follow, and what should they dismiss? Harrold’s short, clever poems work seamlessly alongside Mini Grey’s vibrant art to create visual gags that will have readers in stitches. Both silly and poignant, this book is perfect for curious readers, poets, and cabbages everywhere!
