Nonsense And No Sense And Somewhere In Between – A Whimsical journey with poems by Cindi Walton ; a Book Review

Nonsense And No Sense And Somewhere In Between  A book of poem’s Really?  For kids no less? While I am a fan of poetry and rhyming books ( Dr. Seuss) a book of actual poems geared toward kids I wasn’t all that sure of.

But this book Nonsense and No Sense and Somewhere in Between is just what it says. “A Whimsical Journey”

Each and every poem in this collection has a hidden or maybe not so hidden message in it and with a question or two or a suggested activity at the end by the author to get the kids thinking.

A way with word’s Cindi certainly has and my favorite selection aptly titled Confusion is (at the risk of Blasphemy) I’d say is a cross between Dr. Seuss and George Carlin, Yeah I said it.Both these dudes were master words smiths or is it wordsmiths?      ( they would probably know.)The way she makes you think of this crazy English language pretty cool.

I would totally recommend this book to read to or have your kids read to themselves.

I don’t usually include any type of excerpt in the reviews I do but bear with me…

Confusion

So and sew,do and dew

It confuses me,how about you?

New and knew,what do we do?

Do we use to or two or the other one two?

Read rhymes with seed and read rhymes with bed

All these words were hurting my head

“Be patient and try,” my dear mother said

“You’ll figure it out, now off to bed”
