Absurd premises and expressive illustration connect Adam Rex’s picture books, poems and middle-grade science fiction. The True Meaning of Smekday follows Gratuity “Tip” Tucci after aliens occupy Earth, pairing her with the alien J.Lo on a road trip through a transformed United States. Frankenstein Makes a Sandwich and related books use poems and illustrations to turn classic monsters into comic everyday figures. School’s First Day of School imagines the first day from the building’s point of view, while The Dirty Cowboy and other illustrated projects show his range as an artist. Rex’s work is funny, inventive and visually driven. For discovery, the work connects most naturally with humorous children’s science fiction, illustrated poetry and offbeat picture books.
