This is the rare celebrity book that doesn't feel like a cash grab. Bob Odenkirk wrote these poems with his kids decades ago to inspire them to create, and you can feel that genuine warmth on every page. The poems are legitimately funny and weird—think Shel Silverstein meets Better Call Saul's dad humor—with Erin's illustrations adding just the right touch of whimsy.
The potty humor is real but not excessive, and Common Sense Media is right that it's best for early readers rather than toddlers. If your kid thinks 'zilot' (a blanket fort) is the coolest made-up word ever and giggles at dogs with the zoomies, this is a winner. It's not going to teach profound life lessons, but it will make bedtime reading fun and maybe inspire your kid to write their own silly poems.
Solid addition to any family bookshelf, especially if you're tired of the same old bedtime rotation.
