Silly Me (Paperback)
This book is goofy. If you can't stand monster cacophonies, or new-fangled words like antinonconforminpoop, or sneaky undertones of sex and revolt, this book is not for you. But there are redemptive moments. For example, minimal art gets whacked. And "To A Mockingbird" soars with Shelley and Poe into the avian poetry hall of fame.
Author David Stein is also known for inventing the Bubble Thing, the "monstrous huge unbelievably BIG" bubble maker (see bubblething.com).
