New York Times -bestselling author Andy Griffiths follows up his slimy, rhymey, easy-to-read hit, The Cat on the Mat is Flat , with ten more hilarious short, rhyming stories for elementary school readers. Look inside! This book has a mouse with a house, and a mole in a hole, and a squirmy worm, and a spiky bike. And, of course, it has a big fat cow that goes 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 . . . KAPOW! “Broad slapstick humor and galloping, Seuss-like rhymes are just part of the reason this sequel to The Cat on the Mat Is Flat has strong child appeal. Denton's funny illustrations are full of action, and his use of stick figures and stink lines makes the book look as though it had been illustrated by a cheeky but talented kid.” ― School Library Journal, starred review “Early, emerging, reluctant, and accomplished readers alike are certain to enjoy this hilarious, easy to read book chock-full of whacky, slapstick rhyme. Perfectly complemented with zany black-and-white illustrations, kids will gobble-up these 10 short stories. . . . Full of humor, fun, and an easy format that builds reading confidence, this selection is irresistible.” ― Herald Tribune (Sarasota, FL) Andy Griffiths is the New York Times bestselling author of The Day My Butt Went Psycho! , Zombie Butts from Uranus! , and Butt Wars!
