Four dozen animals. Five lines each. One giant bowl of laughs.
Meet Betty the hippo, who can never say no to one more bowl of spaghetti. She's joined by a super-fast cheetah who outruns his own spots, a cookie-obsessed lizard who only eats the icing in between, and a whale named Gayle whose makeup game is absolutely flawless. Welcome to Too Much Spaghetti: And Other Noodle-headed Limericks, a rollicking collection of original limericks starring animals who act hilariously, delightfully, unmistakably human.
From a gorilla who's tired of pounding his chest to a poetic zebra channeling the magic of Dr. Seuss, from a basketball bison with a fractured ka-bibble to a raven deeply offended by the works of Edgar Allan Poe, every limerick delivers a fresh burst of silly, rhythmic fun. A chicken gymnast attempts the parallel bars. An octopus pitcher never needs relief. A centipede searches desperately for his one hundredth shoe. And a mouse in philosophy class tackles Descartes with unforgettable logic.
Perfect for reading aloud, Too Much Spaghetti: And Other Noodle-headed Limericks is built for shared giggles between parents and kids, bedtime belly laughs, and those moments when everyone just needs a reason to smile. With wordplay that tickles young ears and clever humor that winks at grown-ups, these limericks prove that sometimes the best stories come in just five lines. So grab a seat, settle in, and ask yourself: do snails really go to the dentist? And can a hippo ever truly eat too much spaghetti?
