About this item
At last, a grown-up brings to light some of the awful, horrible things kids must endure. A brothers smelly socks, a jump off the high-dive, or a sloppy kiss from a great-aunt--hey, childhood isnt without peril. In-your-face graphic paintings paired with droll text will have readers chuckling and sympathizing. Reviews "This is essentially Gary Greenbergs Pop-Up Book of Phobias (1999) but with a wonderful sense of how kids sometimes feel the world treats them. Expect this book to be a hit with not just younger children but their older teenage siblings as well. Turns the terrible into the terrific."-Kirkus Reviews
About the Author
Marty Kelley was born hundreds and hundreds of years ago in Manchester, NH. He is currently a children's author and illustrator but has, in the past, been a second grade teacher, a baker, a cartoonist, a newspaper art director, a drummer in a heavy metal band, a balloon delivery guy, an animator, and lots of other things. He'll probably continue writing and illustrating children's books for many years to come because there are few other jobs where being able to paint a perfect booger-bubble is an actual job requirement.
