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!

Edward Lear was a distinguished English artist, illustrator and writer known for his literary nonsense, in poetry and prose, and especially his limericks, a form which he popularized. Beneath the absurd and playful imaginings of his poetry there lurks a melancholic streak that was to bedevil him throughout his extraordinarily creative and nomadic life.
