Editorial Reviews

From the Inside Flap

What on earth is a boner? It's an outrageous mistake—and in Boners you'll find hundreds of these hilarious things kids have said or written. In this charming book, based on the classic 1931 best-seller, open to any page and you'll find a laugh-out-loud mistake that's 100 percent real. Accompanying this amusing material are the original drawings by a young Theodor Geisel, a.ka. Dr. Seuss. It's an exciting glimpse of the early work of an artist who would go on to become the best-selling children's author of all time.

Here's a sampling of the fun:

Shakespeare wrote tragedies,
comedies, and errors

Poetry is when every line begins
with a capital letter.

From the Back Cover

Dr. Seuss, the most beloved children's author of all time, illustrates some of the ridiculous and hilarious mistakes schoolkids have written or said.

Would you believe some of these boners? (Yes, they're all real!)

  • The inhabitants of Moscow are called Mosquitoes.
  • Gender shows whether a man is masculine, feminine, or neuter.
  • Rhubarb is a kind of celery gone bloodshot.
  • Water is composed of two gins. Oxygin and Hydrogin. Oxygin is pure gin, Hydrogin is gin and water.
  • In Christianity a man can only have one wife. This is called Monotony.
  • The people of India are divided into casts and outcasts.

    Dr. Seuss's captivating drawings bring to life the silly and seriously misguided "facts" concocted by young scholars-in-training.
