From the publisher
From Bruce Eric Kaplan, the author of Monsters Eat Whiny Children, comes a sidesplitting story about a dad’s determination to share a favorite book with his son, who would prefer to do anything else–perfect for fans of books by Jimmy Fallon and Jimmy Kimmel. Morris is excited to share his favorite childhood book with his son, Benny. The problem? Benny isn’t interested. Not even if it’s the last book in the pile. Not even if it’s the last book in the house. Not even if it’s the only book Morris brings on their desert vacation, and their plane has just left, and their train has just departed, and the camel they rode in on is far, far, away. And they are stranded. Not even then. Unless…?
