Description
Book Synopsis
Joy Cowley knows what makes children laugh.
In this book full of absurd poems and very short, silly stories, a man takes his tadpoles for a walk in his hat, a cat is surprised by its talking feet, a tiger gobbles up a dentist, ten baggy clowns do a do-wacky dance . . . along with many more preposterous flights of imagination. Illustrations by David Barrow--a first-rate visual comedian--expand the humor in each fantastical suggestion. Cowley channels the spirit of classic, silly humorists such as Spike Milligan, Edward Lear, and Ogden Nash in this exuberant collection for the family that emboldens readers to experiment and play with language.
Review Quotes
"With clear rhymes that will be fun to read aloud, Cowley has crafted a collection that has merit both at home and in the classroom, with rhymes playing with early language and sentence structures and encouraging the most absurd of imaginations."--Books+Publishing
