Hardcover. Hardcover with dustjacket 1993 Golden Books. Superclean; no marks; pages bright; binding tight. Only light wear. 28pp. Language: English. Funny verse and wacky artwork. For ages ca. 4-9. '[T]his illustrated collection of 20 nonsense rhymes is a riot. It ranges from traditional rhymes such as Cinderella, dressed in yella, to There was an old man of Blackheath / who sat on his set of false teeth. / Said he with a start, / Oh Lord, bless my heart! / I've bitten myself underneath, to four original limericks by Marshall. As funny as the rhymes are, the real treasure here, of course, is the deadpan humor of the artwork. Although this a book for reading aloud, it's even better for children to share with one another. Happily and unrepentantly unsuitable for classroom sustained silent reading times, this is one book of verse that few will read without laughing out loud.'--Carolyn Phelan, Booklist.
