Planet Zero, the Sea of Socks, and Babyville are three of the sites introduced in this volume of amusing poems about unusual places. Ice Cone Island is stocked with dairy confections; Hairland is mowed bald by the "Wee Folk from Killarney." The pastel woodcut illustrations have a gentle, eccentric humor that matches the tone of the light verses.
