When I was a kid, my best friend was Josh Funk. Now he's becoming a friend to a whole new generation. --B.J. Novak, author of The New York Times bestseller The Book With No Pictures * Montalvo's visual irony skillfully paces alongside Funk's gamboling rhymes, rendering readers' investigation of each spread just as rewarding as the page turns.
