Amazing and creepy illustrations but the whole non-sense rhymes didn't do too much for me.

Filled with lovely, funny made up words and mind stretching ideas. Great read.

This book is so fun. I think I like it more than my kids. A great read aloud slowly book, and awesome illustrations too.

An unusual book, with intricate quirky illustrations. Of course I didn't understand it, can it be understood? Some fun tongue-twisters though. Perhaps for the picture book reader on crystal meth?
