I Froze My Mother

Freeze your mother!
Learn new words from your dad!

Help your sister share her secrets!

From the kid-like brain of one of the world’s funniest poets for children, here’s a family-full of dreams, screams, groans, and giggles. The fresh, honest voices lurking within these poems combine with eye-popping Peter Lourie photographs to endlessly tickle your gigglebone.

You’ll zoom through this collection before your mother even thaws!

“I love this book! It’s laugh-out-loud funny and also true to kids’ lives. The photographs are great!”
— Jean Marzollo, author of the I Spy series

“They’re clever, astute, and unfailingly funny. They’re genuine, charming, and right on the money. You’re certain to love these new poems from Scheu. Hip, hip, hooray for ‘That Poetry Guy!’”
— Kenn Nesbitt, When the Teacher Isn’t Looking

“Ted Scheu’s ‘seriously funny family poems’ gleefully demonstrate that he is seriously off his noodle—high praise for a children’s poet. I FROZE MY MOTHER takes up where Jack Prelutsky left off...somewhere in outer space.”
— J. Patrick Lewis, author of piles of popular books for young readers

“A charming and perceptive collection of poems that show what life looks like from a child’s perspective.”
— Bruce Lansky, the “King of Giggle Poetry”
