If you buy just one children's book about poles this year, make it I Am a Pole (and So Can You!) by Stephen Colbert. First featured during Stephen's now-legendary interview with Maurice Sendak (which you can watch below), the book will be released by Grand Central Publishing on May 8, according to Media Bistro.

Said Stephen about the deal, "It's been a lifelong dream of mine to write a children's book. I hope the minutes you and your loved ones spend reading it are as fulfilling as the minutes I spent writing it."

The Colbert Report airs Monday through Thursday at 11:30/10:30c.
