Description

Step into a wonderfully topsy-turvy world where nursery-rhyme logic rules and anything can happen. A cabbage leaf becomes part of an apple pie, a great she-bear pops into a shop, and a barber, a wedding, and a crowd of wonderfully peculiar characters gather for a game of catch-as-catch-can. Familiar phrases collide in unexpected ways, creating a playful stream of nonsense, rhythm, and comic surprise.

This lively picture-book collection brings together songs, rhymes, and miniature adventures designed to delight listeners of all ages. Expect jaunty verses, eccentric creatures, mischievous grown-ups, and scenes that seem to tumble breathlessly from one absurd moment to the next. Its short, memorable passages make it especially enjoyable for read-aloud listening, whether shared with children or revisited for the sheer pleasure of imaginative nonsense. 恒一

About the author

Samuel Foote

Samuel Foote

1720–1777

A sharp-witted actor, playwright, and theatre manager, Samuel Foote built a reputation for fearless satire and comic mimicry on the eighteenth-century London stage. His lively plays turned social vanity, literary pretension, and public figures into irresistible targets.
