Eric Carle

Ducks growing out of bananas? 
A mouse catching a cat? 
What's wrong with this book? 
 
Yes, there's something strange, something funny and even downright preposterous on every page of this book (and even the cover!). But it's not a mistake - it's nonsense! And it's also surrealism. 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.

“I absolutely love this book. It's silly and funny, made to be read aloud and shared with small people and bigger kids alike!” - 5 star reader review 
 
You might think a book with no pictures would be boring and serious. 
Except . . . here's how this book works: 
 
Everything written on the page has to be said by the person reading it aloud. Even if the words say BLORK. Or BLUURF. 
 
And even if they have to say things like BLAGGITY BLAGGITY and MY HEAD IS MADE OF BLUEBERRY PIZZA! 
 
That's the rule. That's the deal.
