Don't Get Too High (Said the Bird to the Fly)

Don't Get Too High (said the Bird to the Fly) is the story of two old friends who lose touch, meet up, hash out their differences, and reconnect. It's a raw, almost brutal conversation that could easily be had between a former fratty-daddy (now actual father) and his stoner brother. It's a book for aunts, uncles, mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, hippie-grandparents and anyone who understands that the world isn't black and white-it's an almost purpley grey.

This rhythmic, rhyming story shows what a conversation can be like if people open up their minds to what someone else is going through rather than sticking to their pre-conceived notions. The illustrations portray a shocking amount of emotion for being photos of plywood animals. The book is chock full of open-handed innuendos for adults, sing-songy story telling for kids, and life lessons for the whole gang.

Don't Get Too High (said the Bird to the Fly) belongs on the bookshelves of every open-minded, fun-loving, beautifully strange family.
