Imagine Dr. Seuss crossed with Spinal Tap and The Simpsons and you're in the ballpark. Appealing to children's sense of the absurd, plus tickling grown-ups' funny bones with in-jokes about rock stars and their foibles, M Is for Metal! is one of those books where parents and kids can look at the same page together and both laugh, but not necessarily at the same thing. Filled with amazingly illustrated, yet educational, alphabet rhymes, these books are for parents as much as child.  64 pages, 9.1x9.1x.4 inches.
