A Master of the Tall Tale

My parents love to tell people that, when I was very young, I turned my nose up at VeggieTales. The clever show amused my parents, but my two-year-old self would have none of it. Thankfully, my sense of humor has improved since then, but it’s still hard to make me laugh aloud while reading a book.

Enter Glen Rounds’s delightful character Mr. Xenon Zebulon Yowder, “The World’s Bestest and Fastest Sign Painter,” which had me chuckling page after page.
