Such old favorites as &#8220;The Owl and the Pussycat&#8221; are accompanied by &#8220;Macavity: The Mystery Cat&#8221; and &#8220;Jabberwocky,&#8221; while Ted Hughes&#8217;s &#8220;Wodwo&#8221; sits alone by the bank of a stream in a state of innocence and curiosity that mirrors a child&#8217;s sense of wonder at the universe. Whether sweetly funny or deliciously naughty, these masterpieces of the art of the absurd will charm readers both young and old. 662609 3 5 2005 The Everyman Book of Nonsense Verse (Everyman's Library Children's Classics) total:2|4:1|3:1| 2 7 4 0 676608 1400044251 9781400044252 2 0 3.50 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1177036801m/676608.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/676608.The_Everyman_Book_of_Nonsense_Verse 4 0 false Fri Sep 12 16:51:01 -0700 2008 Fri Sep 12 16:51:01 -0700 2008 676608 1400044251 9781400044252 2 0 3.50 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1177036801m/676608.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/676608.The_Everyman_Book_of_Nonsense_Verse 0 0 false Thu Apr 03 11:14:21 -0700 2008 Mon May 12 12:14:52 -0700 2008 676608 1400044251 9781400044252 2 0 3.50 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1177036801m/676608.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/676608.The_Everyman_Book_of_Nonsense_Verse 3 0 false Wed Mar 19 23:07:13 -0700 2008 Wed Mar 19 23:07:13 -0700 2008 676608 1400044251 9781400044252 2 0 3.50 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1177036801m/676608.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/676608.The_Everyman_Book_of_Nonsense_Verse 0 0 false Thu Jan 03 09:12:44 -0800 2008 Thu Jan 03 09:12:44 -0800 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=676608
