Article number 10224081

A collection of twenty-three whimsical nonsense poems accompanied by Nick Bantock's colourful and imaginative illustrations. The verses explore absurd creatures, peculiar situations and unexpected combinations of words and images, drawing on the tradition of playful literary nonsense. The book combines visual humour with rhythmic language and inventive wordplay. Originally presented with an audio cassette of the author reading the poems, it allows readers to experience the verses both through their illustrations and through spoken performance.
