His Shoes Were Far Too Tight

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Calef Brown. Selected by Daniel Pinkwater. Two admirers of Lear--Pinkwater and Brown--pay homage to the sultan of silliness in this oversized collection of ten poems. A brief introduction to the poet sets the stage for the nonsense verse, including "The Owl and the Pussycat" and "The Quangle Wangle's Hat." Illustrations with a folk-art quality are saturated with color and reveal an imagination as ebullient and expansive as Lear's.
