Tales of Whimsy, Verses of Woe

Quite possibly the most dangerous book of poetry ever written. Do you dare? It’s so good it will make you sneeze. What becomes of a girl who absolutely detests the color green? What about a king who joins a punk band? And the little boy who calls up God on the telephone? Monsters, bears, wizards, and talking vegetables―This book has something for everyone. Winner of the prestigious Baldersquash Medal, which honors the very best in highfalutin nonsense.

Tim DeRoche and Daniel González, author and illustrator of the best-selling Ballad of Huck & Miguel, return with a book of verse that will delight anyone who loves Lemony Snicket or Shel Silverstein.

Daniel González is a printmaker and artist based in Los Angeles. He studied graphic designat the California College of Arts & Crafts and UCLA and occasionally teaches printmaking at Self Help Graphics & Art.  His family comes from the small town of El Teúl, Zacatecas Mexico.  He is a native of Los Angeles.
