Orangutan Tongs: Poems to Tangle Your Tongue

CRITICS HAVE SAID

  • “While all of the poems are crowd pleasers, one or two will have youngsters howling. In addition to being just plain funny, Agee is a wordsmith and accomplished illustrator, factors that have produced another must-have winner from a comic master.” – School Library Journal
