(2) K-3 Illustrated by Fred Marcellino. Three great nonsense rhymes by the inimitable Edward Lear--"The New Vestments," "The Owl and the Pussycat," and "The Pelican Chorus"--are accompanied by wildly comic illustrations, uniquely suited to the poems' content and era. The title poem is especially well done, with the pelicans as stuffy Victorian parents giving a coming-out ball for their daughter on the banks of the Nile. For lovers of Lear, a great treat.
