I Froze My Mother And Other Seriously Funny Family Poems By Ted Scheu Photographs by Peter Lourie

I've spent a lot of time studying and enjoying digital photography.  Here is a new book by Ted Scheu, a poet and good friend, who asked me to take the photos for him. 

I hope to take a lot more photos for Ted, for other authors, and for new travels like my recent three trips to the arctic.

Here are some recent reviews of the book from other top childrens’ authors and poets:

Jean Marzollo, the author of the best-selling “I Spy” series wrote: "I love this book! It's laugh-out-loud funny and also true to kids' lives. The photographs are great!"

Kenn Nesbitt, poet and author of “When the Teacher Isn't Looking” wrote: “They're clever, astute, and unfailingly funny. They're genuine, charming, and right on the money. You're certain to love these new poems from Scheu.  Hip hip, hooray for ‘That Poetry Guy!’"

J. Patrick Lewis, author of piles of popular poetry books for young readers wrote: “Ted Scheu’s “seriously funny family poems”gleefully demonstrate that he is seriously off his noodle—high praise for a children’s poet. I FROZE MY MOTHER takes up where Jack Prelutsky left off...somewhere in outer space.”

“A charming and perceptive collection of poems that show what life looks like from a child’s perspective,” wrote Bruce Lansky, the “King of Giggle Poetry,” and a poet and publisher of many wonderfully successful anthologies from Meadowbrook Press.

Robert Scotellaro, author of “Snail Stampede and Other Poems” wrote,“These are engaging and sure-footed poems that romp through the mischievous and fun-filled territory of childhood and family life.  What a great talent Scheu has for writing kid's poems that head straight for the funny bone--he's got a direct link!"
