Description

Step into a world where animals talk in rhymes, spiders ponder philosophy, and soup is never what it seems.

In this curious collection of nonsense poetry, you'll meet a monkey obsessed with yellow pants, a centipede with too many bleeding feet, and a lion whose royal dreams are nibbled away by mice. And just when you think it can't get stranger, someone's serving glue soup and cockroach soup for lunch.

With original illustrations by Nadia.
