About the Book
Macaroni on the Moon is an engaging and delightfully illustrated collection of humorous poems written for kids and adults of all ages. This original collection of 61 poems, following in the wacky tradition of Edward Lear and Ogden Nash, introduces the reader to many wonderfully colorful characters, from Marvin the Moose and Melvin the Mixed-Up Camel to the ridiculous Nicholas Harrs and the Mean Brothers Butz.
So, if you like to read poems that excite and delight, titillate and amuse (and make you wanna jump right out of your shoes), then you've gotta read Macaroni on the Moon!
