About Jack Hammer

The man behind the terrible titles

Jack Hammer writes parody picture books for grown-ups: bright, silly, beautifully illustrated stories with titles you cannot say in front of your mother.

Every book is exactly what it claims to be. Barbara's Beaver Can Handle 2 Logs! is about a beaver, some logs, and a considerable amount of dam engineering. Farmer Dan's Tiny Cock! is about a very small rooster. The joke is that there is no joke — and that is why people keep buying them as gifts.

How this started

One bad pun, one late night, and a stubborn refusal to let it go. Twenty-something books later, here we are.

Where to find the books

Every title is on Amazon in paperback and on Kindle. Browse the whole shelf, pick the one that made you snort, and go from there.
