Tom Angleberger is the guy behind the Orgami Yoda series, which took over my house for months with Star Wars Origami. Cece Bell is the cartoonist of El Deafo, her memoir about growing up with a hearing aid that my husband and I fell in love with in 2014. I had no idea they were married and my mind was somewhat blown when I saw this book on the shelf at the library! It is hilarious. If the kiddo in your life doesn’t know the Yankee Doodle song, you can sing it to them right before you read it, and that will suffice for backstory. You can tell from the front cover that it’s going to be wacky, with the pony making helpful suggestions and the guy reacting with tirades of annoyance. You need decent energy to read this book out loud dramatically, and it’s SO worth it. Now my son can't stop laughing about lasagna.
