Whether you're making monsters in your backyard, shopping for doomsday machines, struggling with your boring homework, or just trying to go to sleep, the outlandish and everyday situations in this romp of a collection will have you in splits. A great book for poetry lovers, for reading together with friends and family, and for "introducing children to the joys of poetry".

A collection of imaginative pictures, depicting the 'lost adventures' of 'mythical explorers Ixi and Mup', accompanied with captions, that invite and entice readers to create their own stories (much in the vein of 'The Mysteries of Harris Burdick'). The art in this book has been tested in real classroom settings by librarians and teachers for creative writing and visual learning, and this book is the direct result of the success of these experiments. To quote one elementary school teacher: "Seeing your art has opened up a world of possibilities for my students ". To quote another middle school language-arts teacher: "Your art engaged even the most reluctant writers in my class ". Ideal for elementary and middle-school aged kids or for families that enjoy doing story-telling together. A great seed for creative writing assignments or making up stories together.
