Illustrated by
Chris Raschka.
Keats's playful nonsense poem features the kinds of rhymes that children love to repeat, even if the words don't make complete sense to them. The old-fashioned vocabulary and dense sequences of words make this more of a book for one-on-one sharing than a group read, especially with the plethora of details in Raschka's watercolors. A joyful nonsensical experience for young listeners and readers.
