Synopsis

The dragon has known the dangers of the Nozzlewock for ages and even wrote the classic book on this menacing creature.

Who is the Nozzlewock? Why should we beware of it—and of the dragon who knows its secrets?

In these pages, you’ll meet a wild array of characters, including ghost guppies and the brave girl who creates them; Stan the Slouching Man™ who’ll teach you black belt slouching; oozing dinosaurs called Squishosaurs, and a dragon you shouldn’t try to trick …

You—and many of the characters—will also meet the mysterious Nozzlewock.

WATCH OUT!

“A must-have story collection! With clever rhymes and humorous alliteration, Madan’s vivid imagination will have both kids and parents laughing out loud.”—Donna Barba Higuera, Newbery Award–winning author of The Last Cuentista

What a delightful book! At first I was just just enjoying these varied, rollicking, tight poems about the 'surprising characters' in the title, and appreciating the energy of the vibrant, comic-format art. But then I started noticing the storylines were weaving in and out of the poems, and character......more

This book is SO MUCH FUN!!! The poems are elaborate and have tons of interesting words, very reminiscent of the Silverstein poems that I grew up with.
