I don't think I read this one much as a kid. At first, reading it to my daughter as an adult, I was bored with all of the randomness and lack of any cohesive characters or narrative. However, once both of us got into it and I started reading about ringing the Gack in a bad Southern accent, etc., it got a lot more fun.

Lily learned the words "brush" and "comb."

I like Clark. (

This book is a whimsical and imaginative children's book that takes readers on a colorful journey through a world filled with playful rhymes and quirky characters. The book's rhythmic text and vivid illustrations make it a delightful read-aloud choice for young children. In the classroom, teachers can use the book as a springboard for phonemic awareness and early literacy activities, such as identifying rhyming words or creating rhyming sentences. (

Epigraph

From there to here,
from here to there,
funny things
are everywhere.

Dedication

First words

One fish,
two fish,
red fish,
blue fish.

Quotations

Why are they
sad and glad and bad?
I do not know.
Go ask your dad.

From there to here,
from here to there,
funny things
are everywhere.

Oh me! Oh my!
Oh me! Oh my!
What a lot
of funny things go by.

Not one of them
is like another
Don’t ask us why.
Go ask your mother.

By the light of the moon,
by the light of a star,
they walked all night
from near to far.

I would never walk.
I would take a car.
