Haiku, Ew!
Celebrating the Disgusting Side of Nature
Stop right there!
If you think poems about nature are all pretty flowers and rainbow sunsets, this book is not for you. If you can’t handle giant whale farts, turn back right now. If you don’t want to know how lobsters pee, do not read one word further. Seriously, if you open this book, you’re going to find out the disgusting truth about where honey comes from!
All right, you’re in charge. Don’t say we didn’t warn you . . .

Reviews
School Library Journal
“While haikus and ickiness may not seem like the most obvious pairing, this book uses revolting facts to provide a surprisingly engaging dose of science.”—School Library Journal
Booklist
“Brunelle subverts this normally staid 17-syllable Japanese poetic form in this collection celebrating nature at its grossest.”—Booklist
Children's Literature Comprehensive Database (CLCD)
“Brunelle and Patton explore a side of nature that is no less awe inspiring, but rather pondering the beauty of nature, they dig into the disgusting, gross, and sometimes weird aspects of the world around us. . . The pencil-drawn, digitally colored illustrations bring to life the zany weird facts of the text with humor. Reviewer Rating: 5”—Children’s Literature
Kirkus Reviews
“Offers a crowd-pleasing angle on both nature and poetry.”—Kirkus Reviews
