American Idol Mad Libs
By: Roger Price, Leonard Stern and Leonard Sloan (Penguin)
You know the drill with Mad Libs: There's the brief outline of a story, you pick some random Nouns, Verbs, Adjectives, Adverbs, Geographic locations, Exclamations, Silly words, Numbers, Animals, Colors or Body parts, and when you plunk them down into the story, it makes complete sense. Actually, it makes complete nonsense, which is the whole fun of Mad Libs! Check out the Penguin Website (http://us.penguingroup.com/static/packages/us/yreaders/madlibs/) for examples of some of the silliest stories you'll ever write (okay, help write), and then imagine how much fun you can have writing AI-themed stories involving Ryan Seacrest, the judges, your favorite (and least favorite) contestants, your friends, family members, pets, favorite foods, hobbies
you name it. Literally!
