Buy The Jumblies and Other Nonsense Verses by Lear, Edward, Brooke, L Leslie 1862-1940 (ISBN: 9781375908849) from Amazons Book Store. It’s this amazing poem called Yonghy Bongy Bo and there’s a song that goes along with it. That being said, this book is a WOW book for me not because of the Owl and Pussy-Catt and not because of the Friends on a drive, but the last poem in the book which I can only describe as a mixture of a sea chantey and folk song combination. There’s a lot of personification and this would give students practice with dealing with it in a funny way! It could also be used in a music class as one of the poems has a song that goes along with it. There’s a ton of good figurative language use and it would be a great way to introduce students to it. I would use this book in my reading class. ![]() I thoroughly enjoyed this book and it could be read with any of the grades 3-6. The book is just filled with nonsense poems with each one more ridiculous than the other. There’s also The Broom, The Shovel, The Poker, and The Tongs which is a group of friends (I could be wrong here) that go for a ride in the park. ![]() ![]() ![]() The title may give it away but the poems in this book are exactly that Nonsense!
