Delighted to welcome B.C. Byron to the Children’s Reading Room with his first illustrated children’s book – A Cat Named Lump: 48 Poetic Tummy Turners – age 6-12
About the collection
Can you touch your own eye? I think you should try?
Can you lick your own nose? Hey that’s pretty gross.
Can you suck your own toe? Bend in half, there you go.
These poems are strange and a little deranged.Can you read the whole bunch without losing your lunch?
Maybe you can, but one thing is true:you’ll laugh out your insides before it is through!
One of the reviews for the collection
This book is so great! I find myself chuckling at the cleverness and silliness of the poems! There’s some new ways of describing things I’ve not heard before, but are very accurate!
For example, he describes being about to puke as going to “remix the salsa” or “burp the rainbow.” One of my favorites is “The Noah’s ark Burger,” which raises an important question of what animal does baloney come from?? I also really love “Nursery Grimes!”
This book is a lot of fun and both children and adults (at least the cool ones) can enjoy!

How very clever. Kids love this sort of stuff. I used to offer a website called Yucky Stuff (I think–it’s since disappeared from the internet) that covered all the yucky stuff kids are obsessed with. This book might be an excellent replacement. Love the cover.

A Cat Named Lump is full of yucky stuff. The books I’m currently working on align more with my latest blog posts like science, weird, and adult/kid interactions.

That’s what this Yucky website (from Discovery) was about. I think you’ll have a big audience.

A cat named Lump! I love it. Mind you I had a cat named Lumpy when I was little, one of three which were all gray (the other two were Humpy and Dumpy).

Hmmm.. You might find that particular poem a bit disturbing, then. It’s about a kid who keeps a dead cat as a pet.
