Description: A Lot of Silly by Joy Cowley, David Barrow Joy Cowley knows what makes children laugh. In this book full of absurd poems and very short, silly stories, a man takes his tadpoles for a walk in his hat, a cat is surprised by its talking feet, a tiger gobbles up a dentist, ten baggy clowns do a do-wacky dance . . . along with many more preposterous flights of imagination. Illustrations by David Barrow—a first-rate visual comedian—expand the humor in each fantastical suggestion. Cowley channels the spirit of classic, silly humorists such as Spike Milligan, Edward Lear, and Ogden Nash in this exuberant collection for the family that emboldens readers to experiment and play with language. FORMAT Hardcover CONDITION Brand New Author Biography Joy Cowley is one of New Zealands best-loved writers.

Review "With clear rhymes that will be fun to read aloud, Cowley has crafted a collection that has merit both at home and in the classroom, with rhymes playing with early language and sentence structures and encouraging the most absurd of imaginations."—Books+Publishing Details ISBN1776575970 Author David Barrow Pages 64 Publisher Gecko Press Year 2024 Illustrator David Barrow ISBN-13 9781776575978 Format Hardcover Imprint Gecko Press Place of Publication Wellington Country of Publication New Zealand Illustrations Illustrations, color Audience Children / Juvenile Audience Age 6-11 Publication Date 2024-10-02 NZ Release Date 2024-10-02 Subtitle A Book of Rhymes and Nonsense ISBN-10 1776575970 Alternative 9798765667514 UK Release Date 2024-10-02 DEWEY [Fic] We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
