Title: FEG : Stupid (Ridiculous) Poems for Intelligent Children
Author: Robin Hirsch
Illustrator: Ha
Publisher: Little, Brown and Company
Number of Pages: 48

What, you may ask, does FEG mean? Well, I won't tell you that, but I will tell you this: FEG is full of brain-stretching poems, puns, and rhymes that will puzzle your mind and tickle your funnybone. At first you have no clue what the poems are about, but if you read them over and over again, you see the humorous side of them. That is how it was with me. At first they just looked like gibberish, but then I figured out what the poem was talking about. However, this is not a book to read when you're in the mood for an easy reader. It includes words like Agoraphobia and minscule and other hard words ( luckily there is a Glossary.) I would read this if you were looking for a book to strecth your brain or if you are an expert at figuring out puns and riddles. Though this book is challenging, any one can read it if they have the right knowledge. So if your looking for an original, challenging, and funny book, read FEG! (November, 2002)
