Jarrett Krosoczka is awesome! His kid’s book Punk Farm and the sequel, Punk Farm on Tour, are hilarious (farm animals rocking beloved kid’s tunes) –and my three year old has been doing an air guitar/drums while we read them every night since I bought them.
He is also a fantastic kid’s lit author with his graphic novel-esque books about a Lunch Lady who is secretly a spy who fights crime– I love the premise and the books are excellent!
He had had a very full day when I finally sequestered him for a brief interview and was incredibly kind to answer all my questions in his awesome, fun way. His answer to “What is Erudite Lexicon?,” is my personal favorite thus far (throw down for all future authors).
Thanks again to Jarrett (check out his books, blog and touring schedule-quite impressive!) and to Pudd’nhead Books for hosting him and letting me interview him.
