Synopsis
Children's poet Richard Edwards has created his own irreverent versions of traditional nursery rhymes and has set them into an A to Z framework. This mix of traditional and modern rhyme, and nonsense verse, accompanied by Chris Fisher's humorous illustrations, will make learning the alphabet an entertaining experience for children, parents and teachers. Richard Edwards is a well-known children's author. He has published over 20 titles in the UK and US, mainly poetry and picture books for a number of publishers including Walker Books, Viking, Puffin, and Faber & Faber. He is also the author of Fly with the Birds and Nonsense Christams Rhymes for OUP. Chris Fisher has illustrated all the books in the Nonsense series and they have been very well received in the trade. He is well-known for his vivid, lively illustrative style, and has illustrated over 40 titles for Walker Books, Hodder, Puffin, Scholastic and HarperCollins.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews   5 of 5 people found the following review helpful: Imaginative reading for children, 25 Nov 2001 By A Customer This review is from: Nonsense Nursery Rhymes (Paperback) I have read Nonsense Nursery Rhymes with children in Primary school English lessons and have found that it has been a captivating book for children to read and enjoy. The illustrations are beautifully done and complement the rhymes very well. I have seen children giggle at the absurd nature of the rhymes and in the process learn some interesting and diverse vocabulary. I like the way in which the original rhymes are printed at the back of the book as this provides good comparative exercises for the children.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?
