About this listen

This hilarious follow-up to the New York Times bestselling poetry book I'm Just No Good at Rhyming is full of surprising twists of wit and wordplay that will have listeners rolling on the floor laughing!

“Highly recommended, it gets 5 stars and 8 moons and a chef's kiss and a tip of the hat and a jump in the lake from me.”—Bob Odenkirk, award-winning actor, writer, and comedian

I'm Just No Good at Rhyming is this century's most acclaimed comedic poetry collection so far, described as "a worthy heir to Silverstein, Seuss, and even Ogden Nash" (PublishersWeekly), "wildly imaginative...inspired and inspiring" (Kirkus), and as "everything a book for kids should be" (B.J. Novak). Now, Chris Harris delivers all that and more with dazzling new heights of creativity, kooky conundrums, witty wordsmithing, and of course, wacky laugh-out-loud fun!

There's a whole new cast of characters to meet, from the Nail-Clipping Fairy (who delivers teeth at night), to Orloc the Destroyer (who can be defeated only by his mommy), to the Elderly Caveman (who complains about the younger generation obsessed with playing with fire). There are more mind-bending verbal and visual riddles, plus there's plenty of hilarious hijinks hiding around every corner, whether it's a buffalo that escapes one poem and roams through others or a meteor threatening to land on the book and obliterate everything. There's even a mini book-within-a-book! In between it all, cartoonist Andrea Tsurumi’s diverse range of exuberant people, creatures, and anthropomorphic objects ripple through the book with playful energy.

If your head has a bellyache as you listen to this book, it will only be because you're laughing WAY. TOO. HARD!

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Critic Reviews

* "Will keep young audiences reading all the way to the (rhymed!) glossary and into the goofy title and subject indexes... Sidesplitting fun throughout for one or a crowd."—Kirkus Reviews
“Hilarious! Witty! Fun! Chris Harris’s rhyming nonsense made me laugh so hard, now I have a bellyache!”—Chris Grabenstein, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Lemoncello series

"The funniest, smartest, wildest, and most wonderfully illustrated and designed book I have read in about...forever.”—Jon Scieszka, bestselling children’s book author and first National Ambassador of Young People’s Literature
