Joseph Kimble, a distinguished professor emeritus at Cooley Law School, recently published the second of his Mr. Mouthful children’s books: “Mr. Mouthful and the Monkey-
nappers.”
Mr. Mouthful is a fan of big words kids can’t understand, leading to one misadventure after another. In the book, his hotshot pet monkey, Dupree, goes on a romp and gets into big trouble – only to have kids come to the rescue, as they did in the first book, “Mr. Mouthful Learns his Lesson.”
The first Mr. Mouthful book, published in 2017, won several awards; and this second installment has received stellar reviews.
Kimble regularly visits elementary schools and would be happy to hear from teachers who would like to schedule a visit. For more about the books, visit www.mrmouthful.com.
Kimble taught legal writing at Cooley for 30 years, and many people will be familiar with his advocacy for plain legal language.
He has been the editor of the Plain Language column in the Michigan Bar Journal for 36 years; just published the second edition of his book “Writing for Dollars, Writing to Please: The Case for Plain Language in Business, Government, and Law”; and in 2023 won the State Bar’s Roberts P. Hudson award. He also served as drafting consultant on the projects to rewrite the
Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, Evidence, and Bankruptcy Procedure, as well as the Michigan Rules of Evidence.
