Nutty News

It looks like a newspaper, but the resemblance stops there. Ron Barrett's off-the-wall parody covers such interesting news stories as " Gerbile Elected President of France" and " One-Minute-a-Day School Opens; " an interview with New York's first teddy bear cab driver; a weather forecast prepared by the United States Bureau of Guessing; an entertainment section with a preview of the new TV season return of " Real Stupid World; " a home and family section with a Dear Gabby column, Your Horoscope, and other ridiculously unhelpful items. And what's a newspaper without sports and comics? "The Nutty News" has it all plus lots of side-splitting advertisements. What's funnier: Ron Barrett's illustrations or his fake journalism? Our unscientific poll of five kids was split 50/50. "From the Trade Paperback edition."Barrett, Ron is the author of 'Nutty News ', published 2005 under ISBN 9780375927515 and ISBN 0375927514.
