It"s time for fun! Inside The Nonsense Show is something playful, something silly, something downright preposterous on every spread. The inimitable Eric Carle has dedicated his latest picture book creation to one of his favorite art movements, surrealism. With wordplay and visual jokes galore, young readers will encounter a very different side of Eric Carle than the one they might have first met via The Very Hungry Caterpillar or Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? Following on the heels of The Artist Who Painted a Blue Horse (an homage to Franz Marc and expressionism) and Friends, with its semi-abstract artwork, The Nonsense Show forms a trilogy of sorts dedicated to introducing young readers to different styles of artwork without ever overlooking the need to, first and foremost, appeal to children. One of the true legends and pioneers of picture book making continues to expand and challenge the genre.
