Hilariously Inventive!

Andrea Perry's collection of inventions that never were...but some day may be...is one of the wittiest books of rhyme I have ever read. Kids will love it - but it's also fun for all adults who haven't forgotten how to laugh. Ms. Perry's infectious cadence and rhyme are matched only by the ingenuity of her offbeat creations. She has out-Seussed Dr. Seuss!

Mrs. Perry!

Outstanding book!

Andrea Perry is an incredibly talented and creative poet. She has tapped into the interests, concerns and humor common to all children with this book. My son roared with laughter, begging me to re-read many of Ms. Perry's clever poems. He especially loved "Veggies Be Gone", a hilarious ode to the hatred of all things green and leafy. Alan Snow's wonderful illustrations captivate the reader. They bring Ms. Perry's words to even more vibrant, vivid life.I would highly recommend this book for any child, or anyone who has been a child. It delights readers of all ages.

miles of smiles

Andrea Perry certainly creates a wonderful world with words. With zany solutions to everyday problems, she brings adults and kids into a place where the answer makes us all smile. Each time you read it, something new reveals itself. The cleverness is endless. Alan Snow acheives the same with elaborate illustrations. My kid audience can't hear these stories enough, nor can I read them enough!This is a fantastic book to be enjoyed by EVERYONE!
