Calef Brown’s children's books are truly one-of-kind experiences. Part Dr. Seuss, part Shel Silverstein, and all his original folk-art creations. Not for the close-minded, and for those who except and love that which is sometimes called "weird."

Another great book from Calef Brown. His poetry and illustrations are so whimsical and easy for my son to memorize. We have a collection of all his books. Not only do our kids love to read his poems, but the adults can't get enough of them!!!

Another fun collection of poems from Calef Brown with quirky themes and zany rhyming. Kids will get a kick out of eccentric characters like Donut Beatles and Runaway Waffles.

Older kids and adults may find this book a bit too simple; the real charm of this book lies in reading it
