Groaner Alert! Chicken Butt's Back! by Erica S. Perl and Henry Cole

"HEY! DO YOU KNOW WHAT?"

"IN FACT, I DO. AND WHERE AND WHY AND HOW AND WHO."

"BUT MOM! I'LL MAKE THIS CRYSTAL CLEAR...."

"NO MORE "CHICKEN BUTT," MY DEAR."

That's what she thinks! Mom is no match for that inveterate punster she calls her son. In an exuberant sequel to their riotously irreverent (some say "cheeky") first book Chicken Butt! (Abrams), even an expedition to the grocery store gives our young wordplayer opportunity for more of his call-and response humor. Over and over Mom falls into his verbal trap as she absentmindedly tries to finish her shopping.

"WHICH BUTT?"

"WITCH BUTT!!!!"

With Henry Cole's familiar goofy, bug-eyed chickens and other comic critters appearing in sequence, it's a word-playground for Erica Perl's little pun-lover with his happy homophones and homonyms at the ready in her latest giggle-and-word-fest, Chicken Butt's Back! (Abrams, 2011)
