It's a book—a funny new picture book—written by Erica S. Perl and illustrated by Henry Cole. The trade journal Kirkus calls it "an unhinged piece of slap-happy rhyming."
I also got a kick out of the school librarian at 100 Scope Notes who asks, "How do you feel about a raucous storytime? Are you pro or con? Cause that’s what you’re going to have if you pull this one out during read-aloud."
I'm so happy that the publication and blog tour coincided with Chicken Spaghetti's fourth anniversary.
