"This is the most amazing book! I've had it memorized for years because it's just that kind of story! You'll want to read it so many times that you too will have it memorized. Yes, it's written for little children, but the truly great books in life we never outgrow."

— Danielle (5 out of 5 stars)

    " I memorized this poem as a child and have never forgotten it. Jan Brett's wonderful illustrations make this book well worth a look. It's fun to see her illustrating in a tropical setting for a change. "

    " I love this kind of illustration, the poem is classically nonsensical, and I thought that 'the land where the bong-tree grows' looked pleasingly like Australia. So this was a hit (for both of us). "

    " The greatest nonsense verse behind Carroll's Jabberwocky, made even more ludicrous with pictures detailing the ironies contained therein. "

    " This book tells the humorous love story of an owl and pussycat. At the beginning, readers think they are just friends, but by the end of the book you realize their romance. It is light-hearted and funny and will get some laughs from students. "

    " C really likes pointing at things in the pictures. He also loves to say "owl" and "maow." I'm going back and forth between 3 and 4 stars - C loves to look at the book, isn't as patient about letting me actually read it to him. (23 months old). "
