What's Silly Time About

Publisher Summary

Be silly! Lewis Carroll’s hilarious poetry will lead the way.Lewis Carroll, author of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, Through the Looking Glass, “Jabberwocky,” and “The Walrus and the Carpenter,” was the king of silly. Kate Coombs’ writing and Carme Lemniscates’ fun and silly art bring Carroll’s delightful nonsense poetry to life for little readers, encouraging them to be silly, Be Creative, and Be Yourself. “Will you, won’t you, will you, won’t you, won’t you join the dance?” The silliest lines have been gathered from Carroll’s vast collection of poetry and stories for this one-of-a-kind board book.

    The Creatives Behind the Book

      Author
      Kate Coombs

      Kate Coombs writes poetry, middle grade fiction, and picture books for children. She currently teaches college English classes and is studying for a master’s degree to be a Reading Specialist. Kate has taught every grade from kindergarten to college. She is a lifelong bookworm and wrote her first poems in grade school, along with a Nancy Drew knock-off and short plays starring herself. Kate’s poetry collection Water Sings Blue won the Lee Bennett Hopkins Poetry Award in 2012. She has written poetry about the ocean, mindfulness, and monster kids, as well as picture books ranging from fairy tale retellings to a kid who takes on the Tooth Fairy and middle grade fantasy books that play with fairy tale tropes. Kate is a great believer in revision, fairy tales, Christmas songs, and chocolate, not necessarily in that order. Her favorite authors are Terry Pratchett, Diana Wynne Jones, and poet Billy Collins. Kate plants a little garden on her balcony each summer, well out of reach of the deer. She has taken hundreds of pictures of clouds and belongs to the Cloud Appreciation Society.
