Animals Talking in All Caps, by Justin Valmassoi

Give Justin Valmassoi credit: the title of his book, Animals Talking in All Caps, tells the reader exactly what to expect.  As if that were not enough, the subtitle confirms the title and should remove any doubt from the reader's mind: (It's Just What it Sounds Like). 

This is a silly book.  It has silly pictures of animals, with captions (in all caps, of course) quoting the silly things that the silly author imagines the silly animals might be saying.  This silly author has a silly imagination.  If you, too, have a silly sense of humor, you will laugh yourself silly.

(By the way, if you think, like I did, based on the cover, that this would be a fun book to share with your young children, please don't.  That is, unless you and your kids watch movies like The Hangover together.  These animals swear a lot, talk about getting drunk, and some have sick, twisted minds.  This book is Rated R.  Not appropriate for children.)

Spend a few minutes browsing animalstalkinginallcaps.tumblr.com.  If you enjoy those few minutes,  you will enjoy the book.  If not, well, then I don't know what to say to you.
