- this is something totally different Chris Harris's I'm Just No Good At Rhyming combines wit wordplay & nonsense with visual & verbal tricks to make you look at the world in a new & wonderfully upside-down way reminiscent of Shel Silverstein I'm just no good at rhyming It makes me feel so bad I'm just no good at rhyming And that's why I'm so blue This entirely unique collection of wildly witty words offers a surprise around every corner from the ongoing rivalry between the author & illustrator (mean poem & cruel portrait included) to the mysteriously misnumbered pages that can only be deciphered by a certain code-cracking verse to a poem that is 100 genuinely infinite Meet a balding werewolf competitive boulders a birthday piranha & find out if grown-ups really are better!

Adding to the fun Lane Smith winner of the CILIP Kate Greenaway Medal for There Is a Tribe of Kids has spectacularly illustrated this extraordinary collection with nearly one hundred pieces of appropriately absurd art It's a mischievous match made in heaven & the perfect gift for creative kids or immature grown-ups
