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 book, nonsense and surrealism combine to spark creativity and imagination.
