Little Book of Nonsense Verse Overview
This book was written to appeal to adults and children alike. It has one main purpose: To make you laugh. These verses will amuse you with their clever wordplay, outlandish situations, foolish characters, and crazy rhymes. But laughter is paramount. And laugh you will, through all 160 of these verses, which range from whimsical to zany to outrageous to just plain funny to downright, well, nonsensical. For instance, in them you can:
Explore alternatives when the store is out of crocodiles
Learn the prerequisites for shoeing an ox
Discover what vegetables are up to behind the gardener's back
Find a way to defeat an evil genie bent on world domination
See how a foolish mouse prepares tea
Delve into the Mystery of Haiku
Observe a fireman's technique for fighting fire in a doghouse
Get the real story of the Three Blind Mice
Go behind the scenes in the race of the Snail and the Cheetah
There are over 150 more verses in this book, each one offering opportunities to expand your horizons, and all of them loaded with wordplay and humor of high and low order. Be assured they will not embarrass you when read to children of any age, from two to a hundred and two.
Most of these verses are at their best when read aloud (a few also have visual jokes on the printed page). A couple of dozen of them have accompanying illustrations: Some are delightful; most are funny; and some, says the author, are "crummy drawings I made myself."
