Hypnotize a Tiger: Poems About Just About Everything by Calef Brown

kristenremenar's review against another edition

Kids who love Shel Silverstein and Jack Prelutsky will gobble up this highly illustrated collection of odd poems. My favorite: Carsick. “Car rides have always/ been awful for me./ I try not to look/ but as soon as I see/ that the needle is pointing/ to forty-three/ on the ol’ speedometer,/ I’m a vomiter.”

Lots of fun with some great playful poems on a lot on themes illustrations add to the playfulness.

Geared toward middle grades I believe, this was ridiculous. In a good way. Good for the kid who started off on Silverstein, and is looking for something to come after Prelutsky. Also the kid who loves the way words go together. The illustrations are wonderful, as are the little footnotes on some pages.
