About this item

This funny poetry book is chockful of unusual characters: panda and pangolin musicians, mail-order eggs that hatch (surprise!) dinosaurs, ten aliens with a garden-gnome pal, a robot uncle, lots and lots of dragons, and a professor who uses his Page Machine to travel to multiple pages within the book. Vikram Madan's ingenious poems take many forms, from limerick to rebus to a fill-in-the-blank poem that offers more than 13.8 billion funny combinations. All feature clever wordplay, impeccable rhythm and rhyme, and riotous punchlines. This is a quirky collection of poems that readers will laugh their way through again and again.

Vikram Madan

Vikram Madan's funny poems are often compared to the works of Shel Silverstein, Jack Prelutsky, and Roald Dahl. His collection A HATFUL OF DRAGONS (WordSong, 2020) appears on numerous Best Book lists by Kirkus Reviews, New York Public Library, Bank Street College of Education and others, and has been short-listed for the Texas BlueBonnet Award. Two earlier collections, THE BUBBLE COLLECTOR and LORD OF THE BUBBLES, both won Moonbeam Book Awards for Children's Poetry.
