Summary

Emmy Award-winning and New York Times bestselling writer, comedian, and actor Bob Odenkirk and his daughter, illustrator Erin Odenkirk, present poetic nonsense for all ages perfect for fans of Shel Silverstein and Jack Prelutsky! Bob Odenkirk began writing these poems with his children when they were little, compiling the poetry into a homemade book entitled Olde Time Rhymes 。 He wanted Nate and Erin to understand that actual people had written the books the family loved to read and to instill in them the feeling that they could be writers and illustrators themselves。 Almost twenty years later, when the Odenkirks found themselves quarantined under the same roof, they revisited these mostly silly, sometimes poignant works。 It wasn't until Erin began to create illustrations to accompany the words, though, that the book grew to be something much bigger than an Odenkirk family treasure。 From the titular made-up word for a blanket fort, an adorable dog with a penchant for the zoomies, and a father teaching his kids how umbrellas work, the subjects of these works, complemented by Erin's whimsical and detailed linework, come alive on these pages。 Featuring over seventy poems, Zilot & Other Important Rhyme s will delight readers young and old。

This book is nothing but a bunch of silliness。 I love it!! Thanks to The Os。 Inspired to open my creative writing notebook and write more of my own。

When I saw the star of Better Call Saul wrote a kid’s book of poems I knew I wanted to read it! This cute book of 74 poems is truly a family affair。 Bob wrote, Erin illustrated and their children both narrate in the audio book。 I was fortunate to listen to the audio version while reading the poems。 It was the best of both worlds! The voices and accompanying music adds a fun element but the illustrations also add to the fun!Perfect for families with young children who want to read silly poems bef When I saw the star of Better Call Saul wrote a kid’s book of poems I knew I wanted to read it!

An adorable and hilarious compilation of fun poems- reminiscent of a Shel Silverstein! I loved it。

Jason Cady

Another great book by Odenkirk。 I hope he follows this up with a book of poems for grown-ups。

Randy

Definitely an homage to Shel Silverstein, in all the best ways。 Delightful use of color, especially the "nighttime" poems, which are in "Dark Mode" Definitely an homage to Shel Silverstein, in all the best ways。 Delightful use of color, especially the "nighttime" poems, which are in "Dark Mode" 。。。more

Raven Black

If Shel Silverstein and Jack Prelutsky got together and made Bob Odenkirk, the result would be the poetry book, Zilot & Other Important Rhymes。 This is not for everyone, but if you like a bit of hyperbole with your books, it works terribly swell!

Fun for all。 recommend

Lacy

What fun and imaginative book of rhymes。 Very cute my children love it

Alechia

Silverstein nostalgia。 Mindful adult reminders like Lollygagging, Incrementalism & Worry Juice。 Sweet innocence like: Goodbye Dirt, Going & Going, Pet Glacier。

Alex Min

Bob odenkirk has done it once again with his chicanery

Jen

I really liked this! The poems are silly and fun and the illustrations are great。 Made me think of how much I loved A Light in the Attic when I was a kid。
