The Nonsense Show (World of Eric Carle)

The Nonsense Show (World of Eric Carle)

"I love Eric Carle's playful text and illustrations in this fun board book that celebrates joyful creativity and just plain nonsense." - Seira Wilson, Amazon Editor

Silliness takes center stage in this laugh-out-loud book from the creator of The Very Hungry Caterpillar?--now available as a board book!

Yes, thereâ€™s something strange, somethingÂ funny and even downright preposterous onÂ every page of this book.Â But itâ€™s not a mistake â€“Â itâ€™s nonsense! Nonsense lies at the heart of manyÂ beloved nursery rhymes. Children readilyÂ accept odd statements like â€œthe cowÂ jumped over the moonâ€ and â€œthe dish ranÂ away with the spoon.â€ This fanciful bendingÂ of reality is also basic to surrealism.

In this book, nonsense and surrealismÂ combine to spark creativity and imagination. Whatâ€™s true? Whatâ€™s impossible? Whatâ€™s absolutelyÂ absurd?Â From Eric Carle, creator of the classic, TheÂ Very Hungry Caterpillar, comes a book to makeÂ children laugh and think, preparing them for aÂ lifetime of loving both words and art.
