Review Quotes
Boston Globe
"What delightful avian nonsense sprang from Edward Lear’s pen."
Bookslut
“Edward Lear’s Nonsense Birds includes his quirky and fun-filled color drawings of ‘the stripy bird,’ ‘the scroobious bird,’ and more, along with a series of completely nonsensical poems (of course!) and line drawings that all combined will give staid old Mother Goose a run for her money. This one is read-aloud territory and will continue to be something toddlers value as they grow older and find more ways to enjoy the author’s quirky sense of humor.”
