Stephen Colbert Lands a Children's Book Deal

Last month, Stephen Colbert had Where the Wild Things Are author Maurice Sendak on his show and jokingly read the author a ridiculous children’s book of Colbert’s own creation. Well, now Colbert has a book deal from that skit. Grand Central Publishing announced this week that it will publish I Am a Pole (And So Can You!) on May 8. Colbert already has a blurb lined up from Sendak: “The sad thing is I like it.”
