Publisher's Note When Daniel Pinkwater performed Calef Brown's poetry on NPR, the response was tremendous. Pinkwater's animated personality and his appreciation for the delightfully silly make him the perfect voice to bring alive the inventive story-poems of Polkabats and Octopus Slacks.
Calef Brown's distinctive illustrations have appeared in numerous magazines and on book covers, CDs, soda cans, and gallery walls. In addition to the highly acclaimed Polkabats and Octopus Slacks: 14 Stories, he has written and illustrated Dutch Sneakers and Fleakeepers: 14 More Stories.
Industry Reviews "It's worth wading through the seemingly endless sea of poorly rhyming picture books to come across a rhymed book as excellent as 'Polka Bats and Octopus Slacks'." Boston Book Review - Erik Kraft (10/19/1998)
