The sad thing is, I like it, Sendak told him. The title is a play on Colbert's 2007 book I Am America (And So Can You!).Ĭolbert pitched a draft of I Am A Pole to Sendak on his show. It is, however, precisely what you'd expect a book by The Colbert Report host to be: tongue-in-cheek political and social satire (hint: it mentions evolution and Gallup polls). And don't be swayed by the cover blurb from late author of Where the Wild Things Are Maurice Sendak.

So don't let the book's illustrations and short length fool you. His latest book, I Am A Pole (And So Can You!), released on Tuesday by Grand Central Publishing, would be the perfect gift to give a child, or grandchild, for their high school or college graduation. "I Am A Pole (And So Can You!)" by Stephen Colbert is out in stores.
