The Future Book

The Future Book is laugh out loud funny, as confirmed by my five-year-old who thinks that Barnett's and Harris's strange vision of the future — one in which lots of people are called Charlie Cheese Face, apples no longer exist, and people say "You smell like a baby!" instead of goodbye — is an absolute hoot. I read it at a recent story time, and the grown-ups laughed as hard as the kids.
