Meet Artie Bennett, author of this very silly book.
It's energetic, amusing, and yet largely tasteful, and the verse is reliably and rewardingly silly. Use this for revving up the silliness anytime, or for bringing a health and anatomy lesson to a satisfyingly comic end." - The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
