There's a novelty cacti print that we're already sold on. It's rife with whimsical color - think macramé, pom-poms, and tassels - and fun graphics. ![]() We just had an exclusive first look at catalog images from Target's 2018 Back to College collection, and it's basically making us ooze with jealousy. Shopping for back to school now, however, is like a gift from the decor deities. And even if you managed to procure something like a whimsical throw pillow, everyone in your hall probably had it too, ripping you of your talent. Sure, there were fuzzy blacklight posters and stackable wire cube shelves that you could showcase your creative prowess with by building them out either horizontally or vertically (the options really were endless!), but any imagination you did have was immediately eclipsed by all of the dreary wood furniture the school dumped in your room. ![]() “It is my civic duty to demand that you and your entire family read this wonderfully ridiculous book written and illustrated by a wonderfully ridiculous family called the Odenkirks.When we were in college, shopping for back to school was, well, let's just say it was a little uninspiring. “Everyone should have a family like the Odenkirks, who, in this delightful book, share their love of reading, art, and whimsy with all of us.” - Carol Burnett, actor, author, legend “Bob and his daughter have created a book for bedtime, wake time, any ol’ time at all!”- Henry Winkler, actor, co-author of the bestselling Hank Zipzer series An invitation inside the Odenkirks’ pillow fort, and you should accept.” - Adam Rex, bestselling author of Frankenstein Makes a Sandwich and On Account of the Gum Hats off to a true 3-D chess player!” - Scott Aukerman, comedian, writer, host of Comedy Bang! Bang! “Bob and I once had a conversation about how he was going to start a family so he could write a children’s book with them. don’t read this book!”- Jon Scieszka, first National Ambassador for Young People’s Literature “If you DON’T want to read funny, heartfelt, wild poems with perfect illustrations.

The fire MUST be within a safety-compliant fireplace or outdoors in a four-by-six firepit.” - David Cross, actor, comedian, writer, honorary fire safety marshal “Snuggle up, get a fire going, and read these delightful, thoughtful, and brilliantly illustrated poems. “Silliness abounds throughout the 70-plus disparate poems, each featuring…illustrations that radiate enthusiastic quirkiness.”- Publishers Weekly “Sure to charm both children and adults.” - BookPage * “In the same vein as…Shel Silverstein and Jack Prelutsky, Odenkirk’s poems beg to be read out loud…Highly recommended for those looking to freshen up their collections of silly poetry.”- School Library Journal, starred review 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.
