A collection of free verse poems and stories covering the topics of breakfast, oceans, sickness, and bedtime. The 'nonsense' in the title is accurate; many of these poems and stories are very silly and often without a point or resolution. Still, the sense of fun and craziness in both the text and illustrations should capture many children's imaginations. While the repetition makes this one less fun for a read-aloud -- especially when tackling the entire book at once -- it would be a nice addition to a unit on poetry, or for students to browse through.
