Description
Silliness takes center stage in this laugh-out-loud book from the creator of The Very Hungry Caterpillar. Yes, there’s something strange, something funny and even downright preposterous on every page of this book. But it’s not a mistake – it’s nonsense! 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. Praise for The Nonsense Show: A TIME Magazine Top 10 Children's Book of 2015! Carle creates fun and laughter in this homage to the surrealist artist René Magritte. Perfect for storytimes and silly times all round. Carle hits it out of the nonsense park! - Booklist, starred review. A sure hit as a read-aloud and a definite purchase for picture book collections. - School Library Journal, starred review. A picture book made to incite pleasure and joy. - Kirkus Reviews, starred
