My First Oxford Book of Nonsense Poems

Cows are going bong! Adventurous llamas are dressed up in pyjamas! Polar Bears are waltzing! - Is this some strange, uncontrollable zoo? - no! It's "My First Oxford Book of Nonsense Poems". This is a vibrant and varied selection of some of the finest nonsense verse ever written.

From "The Jumblies to the Jabberwocky" by way of "The Sugar Plum Tree" and passing through "The Land of Rumplydoodle", this is a fun-filled topsy-turvy upside-down and inside-out jaunt through a nonsense world of rhyme.

It includes classical childhood favourites, by poets such as Edward Lear, Spike Milligan and Lewis Carroll, as well as contemporary nonsense from Adrian Mitchell, Richard Edwards and Roger McGough.

Illustrated in zinging colour with great verve and a tremendous sense of fun, this is a brilliant book to dip into and a great gift for gigglers - or anyone who likes to laugh!
