Peeoh PaTANG! Michelle M Thornhill

Fluppo! Nurgle Nagoo! Boop! Zogan didn't know what poetry was. He only spoke gibberish on his home planet. Learning something new can be tough for anyone, but when the poetry teacher meets her most challenging student ever, she's the one who gets a hard lesson. From the author who brought you "The Whole Alphabet is Totally Embarrassed," and "Why Do I Stink?" Peeoh Patang is sure to bring even more giggles with the kind of off-the-wall silliness kids can identify with. Just like many young earthlings, Zogan is short, hyperactive, eager to explore, and doesn't understand that pants are not optional. Children will laugh out loud at Zogan's preposterous attempts at poetry, while grownups will be reminded that there is value in listening to the language of little beings. It's an ideal book for boys and girls who enjoy chanting, saying silly words, making silly sounds or driving their grownups bonkers. It's also fantastic read-aloud at circle time for educators and librarians.
