Synopsis

In the deeply eccentric and entirely charming tradition of Edward Lear, these quirky little poems open to the child's imagination (and to the adult's, if the adult still can play) a whole kaleidoscope of odd ideas. With their slightly crazed logic and addictive metrical form, with gleams of wisdom among their high jinks, they really represent a newly-invented form, like the limerick--and an invitation to readers to create more of their own. A delight.
~ Frederick Turner
There is no better way to introduce poetry to children than through the play of sounds—and how masterfully Laura plays the game. What a treat!
~ Sofia M. Starnes
