What would aliens think about us if they visited? How do basement monsters spend their time? Are cars really the best way to get around? In 51 poems, we are treated to these and other stories. Here are fanciful houses made out of birds, hapless vegetables doomed to be eaten, an indignant girl who happens to have horns on her head, and raccoons doing what raccoons do best. This collection of gently twisted humor will be loved by the same mix of readers that enjoys Shel Silverstein and Gary Larson.
