For fans of Shel Silverstein's Where the Sidewalk Ends, Bob Odenkirk's Zilot & Other Important Rhymes, and Chris Harris's My Head Has a Bellyache, comes New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Matt Eicheldinger's Holes in My Underwear-a side-splitting, thought-tickling collection packed with 112 poems and doodles that'll leave readers giggling and thinking long after they've turned the last page.
The poems range in style, including:
- an ode to an egg-filled burrito,
- an elegy contemplating life's purpose,
- a free verse about living with ADHD,
- a haiku about papercuts,
- a lyrical poem about basketball,
- a narrative verse about Shakespeare farting,
- and tons more!
Also included is an author's note about the power of poetry.
Whether you're pondering life's big questions or wondering about the origin of the pink blob fish, this book has something for everyone. Each poem was hand-selected by real kids. Who knows-you might even discover some more hidden meanings woven into the very fabric of the stitches.
So, what are you waiting for?
