A wonderfully surreal book from Eric Carle, creator of the classic, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, comes a book to make children laugh and think, preparing them for a lifetime of loving both words and art.

Ducks growing out of bananas?
A mouse catching a cat?
What's wrong with this book?

Yes, there's something strange, something funny and even downright preposterous on every page of this book (and even the cover!). But it's not a mistake - it's nonsense!

In this book, nonsense and surrealism combine to spark creativity and imagination. What's true? What's impossible? What's absolutely absurd?

Other Titles include:
The Very Hungry Caterpillar
Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?
The Tiny Seed
The Artist Who Painted a Blue Horse
The Very Busy Spider

A gloriously preposterous, hilarious and surreal book filled with nonsense from the brilliantly talented Eric Carle, creator of The Very Hungry Caterpillar.
