Finally, after three years, we are not bound (no pun intended!) to books made entirely of cardboard. We can read stories with pages made from paper, and boy howdy, do we ever. This is one I am particularly in love with. Polkabats and Octopus Slacks is a collection of 14 story-poems that are instantly endearing. Like when somebody makes really tasty tiny cookies and you eat like thirty because they are so good you just can't stop (plus, they're tiny!). Calef Brown is great at pairing word sounds made for out-loud recitation. Such as:
Fantastic plastic stretch elastic...
AND
...a sweet-smelling, soap-selling, tub dwelling guy and his one-legged duck named Alphonso...
AND
...a flapping flock of flying fury...
Trust me, it is fun for the whole family.
