The Armpit of Doom: Funny Poems for Kids - Softcover

Kenn Nesbitt is the author of many books for children, including The Ultimate Top Secret Guide to Taking Over the World, More Bears!, The Tighty-Whitey Spider, and My Hippo Has the Hiccups. He is also the creator of the world’s most popular children’s poetry website, www.poetry4kids.com.

"Kenn Nesbitt combines the right words to create a whimsical poetic experience for children. Adults (and soon to be adults) may not appreciate the allure of these poems, but pull out the Armpit of Doom to a room full of third graders and let the poems fly - it's sure to be a silly and memorable adventure." -Homeschoolbuzz.com

Irrepressible, unpredictable, and raucously popular children's poet Kenn Nesbitt was spawned in the same cracked petri dish as Jack Prelutsky, to whom he is the natural heir. A title guaranteed to generate "No, wait, read this one!" responses, The Armpit of Doom is more mayhem from one of the masters. -J. Patrick Lewis, US Children's Poet Laureate, author of Please Bury Me in the Library

Kenn Nesbitt wrote a book of poems
A funny one I think.
And though it's colored black and white
Watch it tickle you PINK!
-Douglas Florian, author and illustrator of Comets, Stars, the Moon, and Mars: Space Poems and Paintings

Is there anything Kenn Nesbitt can't write a poem about? The Armpit of Doom features five dozen poems full of clever wordplay, impeccable rhythms and funny punch lines. To borrow from one of Kenn's titles, Please Don't Read This Poem, my advice is, "Please do read this book!" -Bob Raczka, author of Guyku: A Year of Haiku for Boys and Lemonade: And Other Poems Squeezed from a Single Word

Kenn Nesbitt's brain is the clown car of children's poetry. I don't know how they all fit in there, but they keep tumbling out, one after another, each one funnier than the one before it. -Eric Ode, poet and songwriter. Author of When You're a Pirate Dog and Other Pirate Poems
