About This Book

A lively children's collection of short rhymes, nonsense verses, and comic scenes paired with abundant colored plates and sketch illustrations. Traditional tunes and whimsical pieces appear as brief, rhythmic vignettes that rely on repetition, absurdity, and vivid visual accompaniment to amuse young readers. The material is arranged as picture-led sequences that alternate verse and outline sketches, encouraging recitation, imaginative play, and shared reading through playful language, silly scenarios, and expressive drawings.

Cover Text


THE GREAT PANJANDRUM
HIMSELF


So she went into the garden to cut a cabbage-leaf

to make

an apple-pie;

and at the same time a great she-bear,
coming down the street, pops its head
into the shop.

What! no soap?

So he died,

and she very imprudently married the Barber:

and there were present

the Picninnies, and the Joblillies,

and the Garyulies,

and the great Panjandrum himself, with
the little round button at top;

and they all fell to playing the game of
catch-as-catch-can,

till the gunpowder ran out at the heels
of their boots.
