(2020) - I reread this book last month. I love it, and it shows. My poor copy is falling apart haha... This book was a favorite of me and my sisters growing up...
These rhymes are kind of like Dr. Seuss, little nonsense rhymes, little silly ones that are for fun.
Most of them are little two liners, but some of the longer ones are my favorites.
Like this one:
"I know a Partridge who swallowed a cartridge.
And didn't, poor lad, realize he had.
The day he exploded, He mournfully said
with a shake of his head,
"I had no idea I was loaded!" hahaha... Silly bird.


(2017) - A unique little rhyme book that is very odd indeed. :) Lots of fun reading this as a kid.

A little of this goes a very long way indeed. Great illustrations by Erik Blegvad.
