Two Books by Adam Rex

It's a two-in-one this week!

Adam Rex is an author who was written many popular books.  One of his first novels, The True Meaning of Smekday, is currently being made into an animated movie (as of this writing, the movie is being called "Home").

But Adam Rex isn't just an author.  He's also an illustrator and a poet (wouldn't you know it?)

 If you think poetry is boring and hard to understand, then you don't know Adam Rex!!

We have two super-funny books of poetry by Adam Rex: Frankenstein Makes a Sandwich  and Frankenstein Takes the Cake.   Both feature monsters and food (not just Frankenstein, and not just cakes and sandwiches).

Some of the poems you'll find in Frankenstein Takes the Cake:

"Please Stop Staring at My Delicious Head"
"Dracula Jr. Wants a Big-Boy Coffin"
"The Sphinx Ain't All That - Yeah, You Heard Me"

And some of the poems you'll find in Frankenstein Makes a Sandwich:

"Godzilla Pooped on my Honda"
"The Yeti Doesn't Appreciate Being Called Bigfoot"
"Count Dracula Doesn't Know He's Been Walking Around All Night with Spinach in His Teeth"

As you can tell, these aren't your ordinary poems!  Some of them are even set to music, and all are illustrated (by Adam Rex, of course).

Give your funny-bone a treat and check out these collections of outrageous, quirky poems from Adam Rex.
