And it’s also surrealism. Nonsense lies at the heart of many beloved nursery rhymes. Children readily accept odd statements like “the cow jumped over the moon” and “the dish ran away with the spoon.” This fanciful bending of reality is also basic to surrealism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In this audiobook, nonsense and surrealism combine to spark creativity and imagination. What’s true? What’s impossible? What’s absolutely absurd? From Eric Carle, creator of the classic, \u003ci\u003eThe Very Hungry Caterpillar,\u003c\/i\u003e comes an audiobook to make children laugh and think, preparing them for a lifetime of loving both words and art.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePraise for \u003ci\u003eThe Nonsense Show\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e* \"Carle creates fun and laughter in this homage to the surrealist artist René Magritte.
