My First Oxford Book of Nonsense Poems

Cows going bong! Adventurous llamas dressed up in pyjamas! Waltzing Polar Bears! — Is this some strange, uncontrollable zoo? — NO! It's My First Oxford Book of Nonsense Poems 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. Includes classics 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. A brilliant book to dip into and a great gift for gigglers — or anyone who likes to laugh!
