PENIS POKEY :: CHRISTOPHER BEHRENS

This book contains no nudity, no profanity, no sexual material of any kind, but it just might be the most obscene thing Chronicle Books has ever published. Penis Pokey is an illustrated board book with a large die-cut hole in its center. Every spread features a dazzling full-color illustration with one thing missing—a banana, perhaps, or a fire hose, or a sea serpent. Male readers can complete the illustrations using the talents God has given them.

Author and Illustrator of Penis Pokey, Christopher Behrens, is a loquacious and erudite raconteur and heart-cockles-warming after-dinner speaker of local renown. Christopher is also an actor, screenwriter, accomplished painter and avid cycling enthusiast. A true renaissance visionary, his thoughtful and comical but always probing and penetrating deconstructions of current trends in American taste and culture are just the sort of zip, zest and pep welcomed in our ongoing effort for perspective in an ever more complex world. . . or maybe he's just obsessed with his penis.

Juvenile and brilliant.
