Neon Aliens Ate My Homework | Nick Cannon
4 posts | 1 to read
Just in time for National Poetry Month, Nick Cannon, entertainer extraordinaire, debuts his poetry book for children. Nick Cannon -- the unstoppable entertainer, comedian, actor, and musician -- was inspired to write Neon Aliens Ate My Homework (and Other Poems) as a way to combine the worlds of poetry and hip-hop. These two mediums have shaped Nick into the prolific artist he is today. To further pay respect to the urban storytelling that inspired him, each funny, gross, wacky, or thought-provoking poem in this collection is illustrated by one of six incredible street artists who have shown his or her work around the world. There are even four illustrations by Nick himself. Also includes: More than 65 poems written by Nick Cannon 4 poems illustrated by Nick Cannon himself 60+ poems illustrated by one of six outstanding street artists A letter from Nick Cannon A biography of Nick Cannon A biography of each illustrator An index

Sorry, I don't know how to get side by side photos. I had to share this artwork which goes along with the poem I shared.

"The first important writer in my life was Shel Silverstein. When I was a kid, a 'A Light in the Attic' was the first book that I was on my own. Seeing how someone could rhyme so skillfully and also be so funny made me fall in love with writing. Seeing his whimsical sketches got me interested in art, too."

Mixing up my poetry selections a bit ... Nick Cannon uses hip-hop influences in his poetry and the illustrations are by street artists who have their work on walls all over the world!
