"The inimitable Stephen Colbert conquers new territory with his first children's book...for adults. In January 2012, Stephen Colbert interviewed Maurice Sendak, and it was one of the most highly-rated and hilarious segments on The Colbert Report to date. During the interview, Colbert unveiled a children's book called I AM A POLE (AND SO CAN YOU!). There was an outpouring of enthusiasm for the book, which led to a demand for the real thing. So, here it is"--Provided by publisher.

Review of 'I am a pole (and so can you!)' on 'Goodreads'

This a short, but fun (parody of) picture book. It's about a pole finding his place in the world. Make no mistake: this is written by the character Stephen Colbert (of the Colbert Report), not the talkshow host Colbert (of the Late Show). Except for one sequence in it that might take some awkward explaining (it involves strippers), this book would probably be enjoyed by children. But it's primarly aimed at those who are forced to read these kinds of books to their kids, as it made obvious by all the jokes on/about the book itself (the blurbs, etc.).

A quick and fun read, and to be honest: you can probably finish this while looking at it in the store.
