Just in time for National Poetry Month, Nick Cannon, entertainer extraordinaire, debuts his poetry book for children.
Nick Cannon -- the unstoppable entertainer, comedian, actor, and musician -- was inspired to write Neon Aliens Ate My Homework and Other Poems as a way to combine the worlds of poetry and hip-hop. These two mediums have shaped Nick into the prolific artist he is today. To further pay respect to the urban storytelling that inspired him, each funny, gross, wacky, or thought-provoking poem in this collection is illustrated by one of six incredible street artists who have shown his or her work around the world. There are even four illustrations by Nick himself.
Also includes:
More than 65 poems written by Nick Cannon
4 poems illustrated by Nick Cannon himself
60+ poems illustrated by one of six outstanding street artists
A letter from Nick Cannon
A biography of Nick Cannon
A biography of each illustrator

NICK CANNON is a successful, multifaceted entertainer: film star, comedian, musician, writer, and the host of America's Got Talent.
Gr 3–6—This mixed collection of 65 poems from comedian, actor, and musician Cannon varies in tone from the heartfelt to the flippant, hitting almost every note in between. While some of the offerings, such as "Lend Your Light" and "Put on a Smile," are very well done, others, such as "Farts or Burps" and "Bless You," are less successful. It is clear from the writing style that hip-hop culture has greatly influenced Cannon, and the illustrations (from Cannon and six street artists) also echo the urban influences, lending themselves well to the text. Without looking at the copyright page, it's difficult to discern which images are by which artist. VERDICT This title will find fans among those who pick it up because of the author's name recognition or those who have an interest in hip-hop culture.—Ellen Norton, White Oak Library District, Crest Hill, IL
