Grade Level: 2-5
As the title suggests, this collection of poetry is unusual and nonsensical. Lear uses rhymes (and mostly limericks) to express crazy ideas and also make the reader laugh. The poems are light hearted and although they lack depth and meaning, they are entertaining from a comical standpoint.
The illustrations are sketches that contain very little color. They enhance the poems by visually expressing the humor that Lear also conveys through the text.
This books is full of examples of limericks. Students could use this book to view samples before writing their own limerick.
