DESCRIPTION:
"Who? is a great question in this book." according to Bruce P. Barten. I used to think that I knew the words of the Scroobius Pip in this poem, more or less, since each word could have been the same as in the verse before it, simply repeating a line at the end of each verse, as the words of the chorus of a song have a tendency to show up, one at a time, each in their proper places; but when the Scroobious Pip has something to say, like "Chippetty flip! Flippetty chip! My only name is the Scroobious Pip!" it might come out, "Flippetty chip! Chippetty flip!" or "with a liqu. "The Scroobious Pip" according to A Customer. This is one of the most memorable books from my childhood. The illustrations are wonderful,and I spent many hours trying to find all the different animals, birds, fish and insects mentioned in the poem. It is a neat poem, too. I would recommend this book for second or third grade children or older. A young child might find the picture of the Scroobious Pip just a little bit scary.. "Beautiful pictures. Funny story" according to AmberJane. Beautiful pictures. Funny story. Wish it was a little less expensive. Though I'm sure we will be reading it for years to come.
Book by Edward Lear, Ogden Nash
From Publishers Weekly PW declared this "the picture book not to be missed! It isn't Edward Lear's The Scroobious Pip, it's Nancy Ekholm Burkert's The Scroobious Pip. How beautiful all of her pictures are." Copyright 1987 Reed Business Information, Inc.
