take a look at this book from ruth krauss, with drawings from maurice sendak. "a first book of definitions". it's really funny, with sentences like "a face is so you can make faces", "the world is so you have something to stand on", "eyebrows are to go over your eyes", "a tablespoon is to eat a table with",... it's a bit absurd, but soooo funny! and supercute drawings!
also check "open house for butterflies", in the same series.
Looks really funny! I like your picture book recomendations! Picture books is one of my favourite thing in life!
ReplyDeleteoh wow- what a find- i love anything sendak illustrates- lucky you to have your paws on a copy!
ReplyDeleteI like absurd and I like Maurice Sendak.
ReplyDeletehmm super cute book!makes me smile..yes, i like absurd too
ReplyDeletethe book looks nice. a coincidence: i read in the paper today about a japanese choreographer who made the dancers repeat sentences from this book!
ReplyDeletehi hannah, that sounds strange! will take a look on the internet about that!
ReplyDeletehei again, it is happening here, in helsinki. they have had the premier tonight. choreographer's name was Kuroda. i will try to get a ticket.
