<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Morris buys a book for his son, Benny, that he enjoyed as a child, but Benny stubbornly refuses to read or even listen to it--forcing Morris to ridiculous extremes, such as a safari to the middle of the Sahara.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>From Bruce Eric Kaplan, the author of <i>Monsters Eat Whiny Children</i>, comes a sidesplitting story about a dad's determination to share a favorite book with his son, who would prefer to do <i>anything </i>else--perfect for fans of books by Jimmy Fallon and Jimmy Kimmel.</b> <p/>Morris is excited to share his favorite childhood book with his son, Benny. The problem? Benny isn't interested. <p/>Not even if it's the last book in the pile.<br> Not even if it's the last book in the house.<br> Not even if it's the only book Morris brings on their desert vacation, and their plane has just left, and their train has just departed, and the camel they rode in on is far, far, away. <p/>And they are stranded. <p/>Not even then. <p/>Unless...?<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Bruce Eric Kaplan, known for his distinctive, off-beat single-panel cartoons, has been a <i>New Yorker</i> cartoonist for more than fifteen years. He is also a television writer and was an executive producer for the acclaimed HBO series <i>Six Feet Under</i>, as well as a writer on <i>Seinfeld</i> (funnily enough, one of his most well-known episodes is one where Elaine becomes increasingly frustrated over what she takes to be an utterly nonsensical <i>New Yorker</i> cartoon). He has authored and illustrated seven adult titles including the cult classic <i>The Cat That Changed My Life</i>; the collections <i>I Love You, I Hate You, I'm Hungry</i>; <i>No One You Know</i>; and <i>This Is a Bad Time</i>; and three titles featuring the wonderfully neurotic Brooklyn couple Edmund and Rosemary: <i>Every Person on the Planet</i>, <i>Edmund and Rosemary Go to Hell</i>, and <i>Everything Is Going to Be Okay</i>. Bruce is also the author and illustrator of five picture books: <i>Monsters Eat Whiny Children</i>, <i>Cousin Irv from Mars</i>, <i>Meaniehead</i>, <i>Someone Farted</i>, and <i>You Have to Read This Book</i>. He lives in Los Angeles with his wife and two children.
