Customer Reviews

Pondering the zoo and Ogden Nash, too.

(Frederic) Ogden Nash was born in Rye, New York, on August 19, 1902. Died in Baltimore, Maryland, on May 19, 1971 One unique advantage of Ogden Nash is no need for a rhyming dictionary. If the appropriate word did not appear, he would appropriate a word. This book is a great collection of the best of Ogden as he observed the Zoo's life. Let us not overlook the addition of Illustrations by the famous Swiss artist, sculptor, illustrator, and animator, Etienne Delessert.

Nash-ional best seller

At the risk of seeming rashI recommend this book by Nash.I haven't found a rhyme for Ogden,Although I came close once when fogged-in.By the way this book is NOT by Etienne Delessert, as listed above, although he is the illustrious illustrator.

Nash-itize!

Ogden Nash is my favorite poet, and I probably like his poems on different animals the most. They're quicker. Quick poems are prefferred by me, because they don't take too long to read and I can sit and think about them, and even feel like reading them again. Here's one, and I didn't write it, Ogden Nash did:The ant has made himself illustriousThrough constant industry industriousSo what?Would you be calm and placid If you were full of formic acid?

My favorite bedtime read to my daughters.

I look forward to these verses again and again. Unlike most bedtime stories, you can set the length of reading time to your situation. the humor stimulates your imagination and makes you want to add verses. Just lots of fun!

DELIGHTFUL!

A collection of animal poems, for anyone who thinks animals are funny!
