Welcome to the wildest rhyming romp in the animal kingdom!
From a juggling Octopus named Ollie to Diana the sequined Slug twirling through Havana, these zany limericks are bursting with color, laughter, and looney surprises that leap right off the page. Inside this laugh-out-loud collection, you'll meet:
- Hank the Hornet - a mischievous prankster seriously in need of a time-out
- A blue-footed booby who launches green slimy spit wads (ew!)
- Zeke the hiccupping parrot balancing beans on his beak
- McFinn the shark with a belly full of fish cakes and seaweed milkshakes
- Floyd and his bungee-jumping fleas - and more looney critters than you can count!
With 27 rhyming limericks, delightful full-color illustrations, and whimsical bonus pages like The Looney Little Things Search, Guess the Critter game, and a Fun Memory Test, this collection is a read-aloud favorite for:
- Ages 3-10 (and every grown-up who still laughs at a good burp joke)
- Bedtime giggles, classroom read-alouds, or spontaneous silliness at Grandma's house
- Encouraging reluctant readers to fall in love with words, rhythm, and rhyme
"My daughter made me read it five times in a row... then took it to bed with her!"
- Elizabeth, a fun-loving mom who now knows all 27 critters by heart
Created by grandma and rhyme-wrangler Kimberly Condrin, Looney Limericks & Crazy Critters celebrates joy, imagination, and the kind of playful chaos that ends in belly laughs and backflips in the kitchen. Each page bursts with color, movement, and heart - reminding readers of every age that laughter truly is the best medicine.
Perfect for storytime, gift-giving, and classroom fun, this book invites children to giggle, guess, and get a little bit goofy. Because when life feels too serious, there's nothing better than a little Looney joy to brighten the day.
