Best-selling author and comedian Jeff Foxworthy tells Rachael why his latest work, the children's book Dirt on My Shirt, is different from all the others. "Of the 26 books I've done, this is my favorite," he says, "and the scariest thing I've ever done. I sat down to write and thought, 'Well, it's kids -- it's got to be easy.' After three days I thought, 'No wonder Dr. Seuss is a big deal -- this is the hardest thing!"

Jeff, who also hosts Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?, explains the meaning behind the title. "When I was a kid, if you finished the day with dirt on your shirt, leaves in your hair and mud on your shoes, you had had a good day. And if your mother made you get undressed out on the front porch before you came in the house, you'd had a great day!" says the father of two girls. "I thought, every kid loves to play, every kid likes to pretend and every kid has weird relatives. So that's what it's about."

Jeff is all grown up now but still loves to play games, so he's ready for a round of "Stump the Rach!"
