$3.99

Ryan O’Brian is riding a wave of inspiration with no shoreline in sight—he can't STOP writing poetry. In the cafeteria with french fries. In the bathroom with toothpaste. Even on the soccer field with mud! Has he reached an artistic crescendo with a sonnet on the staircase and a villanelle on the shower curtain? What next?

In this innovative, inspiring picture book, you’ll find a laugh-out-loud story poem full of hilarious antics, and, if you look carefully, you’ll discover Ryan’s own poems within the inventive illustrations. As a bonus, Ryan’s helpful guide to fifteen poetic forms and five voices invites you to challenge your own poetic imagination.

Ideal for reading aloud or acting out, here’s the perfect book to celebrate the joy of poetry and spark creative thinking. Join in the fun!
