When I Grow Up

Remember "Weird" Al Yankovic from the eighties, the one did all he pop song parodies? He's now come out with a children's book. Now this wouldn't be newsworthy, unless it was GOOD. And guess what? It looks pretty good! I have not read the book yet myself, but I've read excerpts and have seen the trailer (above). It appears that Al takes his writing seriously-- the rhyming is well-crafted, humorous and ripe for visual explanation. I learned about the book from this NPR story. I'm going to look for the book and check it out!
