| Summary |
"Quite possibly the most dangerous book of poetry ever written. Do you dare? It's so good it will make you sneeze. What becomes of a girl who absolutely detests the color green? What about a king who joins a punk band? And the little boy who calls up God on the telephone? Monsters, bears, wizards, and talking vegetables--This book has something for everyone. Winner of the prestigious Baldersquash Medal, which honors the very best in highfalutin nonsense."--Publisher's description. |
