It’s not just the words that make this book so great. The full-color illustrations are packed with action, jokes, and little Easter eggs you’ll keep noticing every time you reread it. Plus, some of the poems have characters and storylines that connect, like a mini-comic series hiding in a poetry book.
One of my favorite parts was meeting Stan the Slouching Man™, who can teach anyone the art of extreme slouching (perfect for lazy afternoons). Or maybe it was the zombie rock band, the Rolling Moans—because who wouldn’t want to see a mummy rocking out?
This book is perfect for reading out loud to your family, your class, or even just your dog. Trust me, you’ll have everyone giggling when you try to say “Nozzlewock” three times fast. Even if you don’t usually like poetry, this book will win you over. It’s got jokes, bright colors, and so much fun packed into its pages.
So if you’re looking for something different—something hilarious, silly, and clever—grab Beware the Dragon and the Nozzlewock. It’s the kind of book you’ll want to share with your friends, read again, and maybe you'll find some of your new favorite poems. Don’t say I didn’t warn you when you start laughing so hard you can’t stop.
Go on, give it a try. The Nozzlewock is waiting!
The books are some of the best gifts to give. This year, I've got about a dozen of books to give to different friends and family, too. This Nozzlewock book is beautiful. And I would like to read it as well.
ReplyDeleteIt does sound like a heap of fun.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a good book choice for kids that age. I work in the media center at a middle school and graphic novels always have a waiting list.
ReplyDeleteThe art of extreme slouching! I bet I could give Stan the Slouching Man a run for his money!! I'm a very good sloucher!
ReplyDeleteMy friends would absolutely love this and she’s looking for some more books for him for Xmas :) - Kira
