Description
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.

Jenn C, Reviewer
The title and cover art drew me in. This is a silly and whimsical children’s book filled with fun rhymes. I love it! This would be a great book to read together at bedtime. Reading a different rhyme or two each night. The art is lovely watercolor with lots of detail. Will definitely be recommending this book to add to our library collection. 5 stars!
