A CBC Hot Off the Press Selection
Kids need funny books - books that fill them with joy and wonder!
Our newest anthology, CLARA'S KOOKY COMPENDIUM OF THIMBLETHOUGHTS AND WONDERFUZZ, is a mashup of a poetry collection and junk journal fused with a graphic novel plus bonus weird and wonderful facts. It features 150+ poems by a variety of engaging, contemporary poets, plus embedded skill notes, fun cartoon art, tons of trivia, and an engaging story about a week in the life of Clara, her family, and friends at school and at play. There's something for every kind of kid reader: the fact nerd, the aspiring writer, the doodling cartoonist, the question asker, and the poetry fan. It will get kids giggling while they absorb language arts skills, historical tidbits, and science knowledge - all with punny poetry!
