M is for Metal

This headbanging romp through the alphabet is positively lighter-waving worthy. By Soundscreen Design. "A is for Angus whose riffs are a hit / He's a grown man in a schoolboy outfit"

 So begins M Is for Metal!, an irreverent kids' book that's not just for kids. Imagine Dr. Seuss crossed with Spinal Tap and The Simpsons and you're in the ballpark. Appealing to children's sense of the absurd, plus tickling grown-ups' funny bones with in-jokes about rock stars and their foibles, M Is for Metal is one of those books where parents and kids can look at the same page together and both laugh, but not necessarily at the same thing.

From Acca Dacca to Led Zep, via Gene's tongue, The Stones' refusal to die and Ozzy's problems with dog poop, M Is for Metal! is the funniest, silliest and definitely the loudest A-Z you'll read this year.

Warning: This (amazing) children's book is NOT for everyone. It contains heavy metal references and words that some might find inappropriate. The book also contains cartoon images of people kissing, little children in the nude, and pets doing their "business." While we think this book is probably one of the best children's books we have EVER seen, not all parents will agree. If you are concerned about the above references, we'd suggest you find an alternate gift for your metalhead child or parents. These children's books are NOT for everyone. They contain musical genre-specific references as well as potentially offensive language and illustration.
