Description
Renowned author Daniel Pinkwater and best-selling poet and artist Calef Brown team up to champion the ridiculous! These endlessly fascinating and imaginative poems are as fresh and delightful today as they were when Edward Lear wrote them more than a hundred years ago--from "The Owl and the Pussycat" to "The Pobble Who Has No Toes." This charming book proves that, sometimes, there's nothing children need more than a healthy dose of nonsense!
Author Biography
Daniel Pinkwater is the prolific author of over 100 books for children--from picture books to YA. He is a pillar of the children's book community and is highly regarded in the field. Calef Brown is the best-selling author and artist of several humorous poetry collections. Consistently well-reviewed and enthusiastically embraced, his books flout the normal expectations for poetry books.
Reviews"Seasoned collaborators provide an assuring nudge for readers to embrace Lear's sumptuously silly verse." - Publishers Weekly "This book of poetry will undoubtedly hold the interest of young readers scouring the shelves for something out of the ordinary. " - Library Media Connection PUBLISHERS WEEKLY \"Seasoned collaborators provide an assuring nudge for readers to embrace Lear\'s sumptuously silly verse.\"
