Put On Your Silly Pants
by Daniel KlawitterPublish: Oct 12, 2016PoetryBook Overview
Daniel Klawitter’s funny and humane verses are the kind that adults can read to their children, children to themselves, or adults to the children inside themselves. Actual children will giggle over poems about stinky feet and crafty Mr. Booger. Adults will feel a twinge of tenderness as they contemplate “The Land of Babaloo” or listen to a kid who hates his baby brother grudgingly admit that he might love him just a little. Go ahead: Put on your silly pants! It’s time for poems that make you smile.—Joseph Hutchison, author of The World As Is: New & Selected Poems, 1972-2015, and Poet Laureate of Colorado I loved reading Put On Your Silly Pants! It really is a fun book; cute and with so many unexpected lessons. I hope it gets in the hands of many parents and children.
—John Sibley Williams, literary agent, five-time Pushcart Nominee and author of nine poetry collections including Disinheritance and Controlled Hallucinations Put On Your Silly Pants is a book of children’s poetry that everyone will love. From the heartfelt “It’s Okay” to the whimsical “Funny Beasts” and even the completely absurd “A Bear in Blue Jeans,” Klawitter tackles all aspects of childhood one poem at a time.
—Nichole Hansen, editor at Stinkwaves Magazine: a PG-13 literary magazine for children and adults alike
