A paragon of puns, to be shelved beside such oddities as The Devil's Dictionary. ( ) Combining Wood's two previous wordplay books into one volume may have made sense commercially but to my mind this larger volume is less pleasing than its sources. The nature of silliness of this sort is that it is best taken in small doses so I prefer the other two books while still deriving great pleasure from this one. This small but perfectly formed collection of 28 absurd verses is illustrated with pairs of pen-and-ink drawings that demonstrate the similarity between each bird and its punning floral partner: parrot and carrot, puffin and nuffin. It is easy to see why it so appealled to Will Cuppy, who cites it as the inspiration for the title of his How To Tell Your Friends From The Apes. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

How to Tell the Birds from the Flowers is a whimsical and delightful book of children's verse. Each verse centers around two things that resemble one another and each poem is wonderfully illustrated. This facsimile edition includes the wonderfully illustrative hand drawn lettering. The Harrier, harassed by the Hare, Presents a picture of despair; Although as far as I'm concerned, I love to see the tables turned. The Harrier flies with all his might, It is a harum-scare'm flight: I'm not surprised he does not care, To meet the fierce pursuing Hare. Wilder Publications is a green publisher. All of our books are printed to order. This reduces waste and helps us keep prices low while greatly reducing our impact on the environment. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
