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.

oh wow- what a find- i love anything sendak illustrates- lucky you to have your paws on a copy!
I like absurd and I like Maurice Sendak.
hmm super cute book!makes me smile..yes, i like absurd too
the book looks nice. a coincidence: i read in the paper today about a japanese choreographer who made the dancers repeat sentences from this book!
hi hannah, that sounds strange! will take a look on the internet about that!
hei 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.
