Product Description
An eleven-year-old boy named Robert voices typical—and not so typical—middle-grade concerns in this unique, memorable collection of hilarious poems. His musings cover the usual stuff, like pizza, homework, thank-you notes, and his annoying older sister. In addition, he speculates about professional wrestling for animals, wonders why no one makes scratch-and-sniff fart stickers, designs the ultimate roller coaster (complete with poisonous spiders), and deconstructs the origins of a new word, snarpy. A playful layout and ingenious graphics extend the wry humor that is sure to resonate with readers of all ages.

Grandits channels inner teen for humor and life lessons, 2007-09-16
Technically, It's Not My Fault has been responsible for even hulking football players getting into poetry. Keep these books coming!

Good poetry book for young kids., 2006-11-11
I got this for my son, and he enjoys its offbeat teenage humor. I enjoy that he is seeing reading and writing presented in a different way.

 Technically, It's Pretty Darn Good, 2006-01-15
I bought this book to review for a grad. course on children's library services and, thanks to the clever cover, was smiling before I even opened the book. Cute, light ... no serious complaints here.

This is a GREAT book!, 2004-12-06
My kids grew up reading "Where the sidewalk ends", by Shel Silverstein. Anyone who enjoyed that book will love "Technically, It's Not My Fault"! It's absolutely amazing! John has crafted some of the wittiest poems into the cutiest "concrete forms" imaginable. You have to see them to appreciate them. Don't think poetry. Think more like an ornery 11 year old boy's view of the world! Considering the low price on this book, there's no excuse for any child growing up to not have this book! Buy it. You won't regret it!

funny and smart and true., 2004-11-30
I love this book -- not only is it funny and totally nails the 11-year-old boy experience, it is also in a format (concrete poetry) that is user-friendly and may well encourage readers to write concrete poems of their own.
I gave away my copy and now need to buy another one!
