A fantastic collection of nonsense poems from all around the world.

Have you ever heard of a doctopus or a hippopotamustn’t? Have you ever visited the Ning Nang Nong or lived in a floorless room? Did you know that in Japan cows go “mo”, in Vietnam they go “o-o” and that in the Philippines they go “ngna-ngna”? Here is an absolutely wonderful bunch of silly and charming poems from all around the world – from classics like the Jabberwocky, to great contemporary nonsense like The Computer’s First Proverb – with superb illustrations by Satoshi Kitamura.
