Written by Edward Lear
Illustrated by Valorie Fisher
Poetry 2
Nonsense is the perfect name for this book! It is filled with silly, funny, short poems. Some of the poems in this book leave you thinking, "what in the world is going on here?" The illustrations are the best part of this book! Some of the poems use words that may be too difficult for some readers, but the illustrations found a way to incorporate the definition into the pictures. I thought that was great! It allows the reader to be able to understand what the meaning of the poem is. Each poem gets two pages, one for the poem and one for the illustration. The illustrations bring out the fun whimsical aspect of Edward Lear's poems. These could be perfect for reluctant readers and a great way to get people start thinking in silly ways. This book was so much fun!
