Gently mocking the ridiculousness of human behavior and Victorian convention, Lear’s deliciously silly verse has delighted children and adults for generations. Here, an owl can marry a cat, a duck and a kangaroo can travel the world together, and a whole chorus and birds and beasts can happily make their homes upon a quangle wangle's hat. This complete collection features some of the UK’s favorite classics, including \"The Owl and the Pussy Cat,\" \"The Quangle-Wangle’s Hat,\" and \"The Jumblies.\" Wonderfully complemented by Lear’s own illustrations, this is the perfect gift edition.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Egmont UK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47040853901552,"sku":"9781405271820","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781405271820_p0.jpg?v=1763716623","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781405271820","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
