The Nonsense Show by Eric Carle

The Nonsense Show begins with a hare pulling out a boy from a hat.  From this point on,  each page contains absurd, silly illustrations.  My boys enjoyed finding what was odd on each page.
I especially liked the last page which has synonyms for the words "nonsense/odd" in a speech bubble.
Mr. Carle usually writes for a younger audience but this book should be read to/by elementary age children to fully appreciate the humor and subtleties.
Rhyming text.
Strategies: schema, expanding vocabulary
