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 ofodd 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 playof sounds-and how masterfully Laura plays the game. What a treat! ~ Sofia M. Starnes
