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.

And they are stranded. Not even then. Unless…?
