Goblins. Boogers. Stinky boys. These are the things of childhood, and they're all here in this outrageous collection of poems that look at the world through a child's eyes. Featuring everything from the Giant Children of the title-who flip pages with amazing speed-to a turtle named Jaws, the poetry included here is rambunctious, irreverent, funny, and sometimes even gross. Tedd Arnold, creator of the beloved Parts and More Parts, and Brod Bagert are good friends who have happily teamed up-with hilarious results.

A kid's-eye view of school, crammed with enough funny to fill a big yellow bus! Snappy and hilarious in true Brod Bagert style, these goofy poems are united by their kid authenticity and quirky school themes. From a computer virus that one kid claims is sure to keep him homesick until summer vacation, to the librarian who tames "the savage beast" (a mouse run amok in the library), to a superhero recruited to scare off the school bully, this is most definitely not your typical poetry collection. Robert Neubecker's bright, dynamic artwork propels each poem into another stratosphere of funny. By the end, kids will have contracted a different strain of school fever altogether. "Kids will appreciate the humor and will see themselves in the high-energy narrator"—Booklist

Biographies & Memoirs

JULIAHOUSE PUB.

Strap on your imaginary backpack and step onto the path of an Alaskan adventure that will take you over the tundra, past the glaciers, and into the heart and soul of a man discovering the strength and beauty of the land and of himself. Brod Bagert’s Alaska rewards its readers with an intimate and varied view of a spectacular subject by combining the immediacy of an amusing journal with the reflection of poems by turns moody, funny and deeply moving. It tells the story of a middle-aged man on the side of a mountain, the story of a sea kayak afloat in the mystery of eternal ice – the story of civilization washed away by the magic of an ice-cold skinnydip – and in a quiet way it tells the story of a love which like the magnetic pole reaches across a continent to show the way home.
