I didn’t expect anything from this book, but I got quite a bit. On each page of this book, the reader is given a limerick, and at the bottom of the page the limerick is explained. For example, there’s a limerick about a trapeze artist who falls into the net. Below, it tells you about the first trapeze artist, and how his act came about. and how he died. Not from falling through the air by the way. The illustrations are bright and they’re lively, but there’s just a little something that does not appeal to me. At times it almost feels more like student work than professional artist. However, they do a great job of doing panel by panel for the illustrations and overall, this book was a pleasure and an interesting read. ( )
