The Nonsense Show

What's wrong with this book?
Yes, there's something strange, something funny and even downright preposterous on every page of this book (and even the cover!). But it's not a mistake - it's nonsense! And it's also surrealism. Nonsense lies at the heart of many beloved nursery rhymes. Children readily accept odd statements like "the cow jumped over the moon" and "the dish ran away with the spoon." This fanciful bending of reality is also basic to surrealism.
In this book, nonsense and surrealism combine to spark creativity and imagination. What's true? What's impossible? What's absolutely absurd? From Eric Carle, creator of the classic, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, comes a book to make children laugh and think, preparing them for a lifetime of loving both words and art.

My review


~I was sent this book in exchange for an honest review. This in no way impacts my review~

I give it - 4/5

My review
- well, this picture book had me laughing all the way through it.
I'm 21 and I adored this book. You're never too old for picture books, especially one as funny as this!

This was a quick and easy read that I loved and I think kids and even adults would enjoy this.

Also Eric created the very hungry caterpillar, one book I LOVED when I was younger so I was very happy when I got asked to have a read of this one.

I mean, come on, how can you not laugh at this picture!

I think kids would love this picture book as it is very silly and very funny. The illustrations are beautiful and the whole thing is just great! So if you're looking at picking up a book for your child or even yourself, then I recommend this one.
