The owl, they say, has wisdom rare, But I dont think its true. Owls never know why, when, or where Cause all they ask is Who? Written for children of all ages from two to 102, the Little Book of Nonsense Verse will amuse you with its clever wordplay, outlandish situations, foolish characters, and crazy rhymes. Its one main purpose is to make you laugh. And laugh you will, through 160 verses that range from whimsical to zany to outrageous to just plain funny to, well, nonsensical. Readers comments about the Little Book of Nonsense Verse From North Carolina: My 9 year old son read this and said it makes no sense and is crazy but it made him laugh and even more so when we read parts of it together. It really is best for read-alouds and laughs with your kids. From British Columbia: Spotswood Stoddard clearly is full of nonsense and wit and he shares both very generously throughout the 193 verses included in this volume. The poems are of wide-ranging subjects, carefully constructed, delightful to read, and some have a very engaging subtlety. Mr Stoddard undoubtedly had a lot of fun composing these verses and his readers, of all ages, should thoroughly enjoy reading them. In his Preface, he recommends that his verses should be read aloud. I agree. From Florida: If youre familiar with Shel Silversteins poems, these are better! From Washington state: I really like the Owl ditty. Every copy of Little Book of Nonsense Verse purchased through this web site includes a complementary Zebra Little Nonsense bookmark. Poor Captain McClapton was given to snoring. It rattled the cups and the plates on the shelf. It fluttered the curtains and loosened the flooring. Thats why the good Captain lives all by himself.
