Book Knook

I’m keeping my fingers crossed that Little Starling turns out to be a reader, because I am super-excited about introducing him or her to one of my favorite children’s authors, Adam Rex. Rex is extremely clever, witty, and also an amazing artist. I currently own his books Frankenstein Makes a Sandwich, Frankenstein Takes the Cake (both are humorous rhyming books about classic movie monsters), and The True Meaning of Smekday (hilarious account of an alien invasion).  Here’s a sample page from Frankenstein Makes a Sandwich that I found on Amazon.com in which Frankenstein tries borrowing some sandwich ingredients from his neighbors:

I also love the poem about Dracula having a piece of spinach stuck in his teeth, but all the other monsters are afraid to tell him. (What’s he doing eating spinach, anyway?)

Any other Adam Rex fans out there? Or maybe you have some other children’s author suggestions for me? Comment away!
