A Funeral in the Bathroom
NEW!
From “Blabbermouth” to “Flushophobic” to
“Thereʼs a Sock in the Toilet,” Kalliʼs poems
reveal the funny – and sometimes poignant
stories that take place in the bathroom. Marc
Beechʼs zany illustrations perfectly express the
ups and downs of school life.
A delightful source of humor and creativity. ~
