Publisher's Summary:
Just so you know, there's a boy stuck inside this book! Seriously, no joke! There's a horse who despises grass, and a Grodie Kamodie pig as well. Drop in and see what tickles their fancy. But please beware! Some of the tales are tall, some of the words are big, and some of the bed bugs do bite!
Speaking of biting, at all costs, please avoid the naughty Cyclops named Warner, and whatever you do, don't eat the Blake Eyed Beans. If Felicia offers you a taste of her Fix'er Elixir, just say no and walk quickly to the next story. You'll be safe there.Ensconce yourself high up in the Tromble trees and open your copy of Riggleberry Bloke, slowly of course; some of the pages tend to be shy and a few of the words might still be wet!Oh, and if you see a little boy trapped inside, do give him a hand!

Courtesy of Teens Read Too
If you have no idea what a riggleberry bloke is, don't despair! You'll find a lot of things within the pages of this little book that you'll have no prior knowledge on which to base your definition - and that's what makes it so fun!
Take a dictionary. Add it to the washing machine. Set the machine on spin cycle. Wait to see what it spits out. If you follow these directions, as Jon Slone possibly did, you'll come up with a nifty little set of rhymes, limericks, and poems to tickle your fancy.
Inside this book, you'll discover "Poppasquat Yo Yo McNoinkle Backtrackit." You'll find out exactly who "Riggleberry Bloke" is. You'll be taken back to your childhood with "Ugly Biscuit." "It Could Be An Invisible Cyclops Named Warner," and whose to say it's not? Or, you could even be introduced to one of my personal favorite characters, "Flee Market Mortie."
RIGGLEBERRY BLOKE is a fun, tongue-twisting read for all ages. Younger children will have a blast listening to their parents struggle through some of the tricky phrases, and then learning to repeat them. Independent young readers will have a great time discovering fantastic characters and an infinitely delightful play on words. Teens, too, can wow their friends with tongue-in-cheek humor.
Pick this one up, regardless of age!

Great for reluctant readers!
My 11-year-old daughter received this as a gift, and she loved it. I highly recommend this book, especially if your child is a fan of Shel Silverstein or a reluctant reader. The poems are clever and fun!
LOVED IT!!!
I bought this gift as a stocking-stuffer for my 9 year old and before I had time to wrap it, I had been totally sucked in! All the stories I've read have been both entertaining and thoughtful. It's nice these days to have something a little lighter to read that has a positive message. I would recommend this to anyone, especially families who have children (good stocking stuffer, it's why I got mine). I also feel there is a message behind the stories that is great for folks of all ages. Normally I don't review products but this was so surprisingly intriguing I had to let folks know.
Looking forward to the next Jon Slone book!!
Excellent book for kids
This book is great! I use it in my Children's Ministry and my daughters love to have a silly poem read prior to going to bed. John is an incredible wordsmith who fills the pages with creative stories and shows a mastery of provoking your imagination.
