Rating 4/5
A sudden guest, a creature in sneakers, arrives at the house of a well-off family and remains for seventeen years. because the rhymed couplets relate, there was no hope of the creature outbound either.
Rating 3/5
Edward Gorey is a fascinating writer and illustrator that produced children’s books for cynical adults. Loaded with apparent nonsense, cruel humor, and coy rhymes this is possibly one of his best.
Rating 5/5
You see this weird penguin-like creature with a patterned scarf and white canvas shoes, wandering regarding, carelessly mysterious and not understood by anyone, together with the reader. Is it a figure of speech for pets? Children? Aliens? United Nations agency is aware of. All I will say is that you simply fall crazy with it pretty shortly.
Rating 4.5/5
Read this a few years agone for the primary time, bought it and browse once more in 2004, lost within the move in 2007. Gorey could be a classic artist/author of the macabre and belongs on the shelf next to Charles Addams. this is often the simplest I’ve seen, those of the youngsters all dying in accidents could be a wee bit creepy on behalf of me. a minimum of this one does not have any deaths in it.
Rating 5/5
Short enough to scan whereas standing during a depository shop, and conjointly rather funny. The penguin-y creature emotional in and ne’er left, and nobody appears very discomposed. Delightful!
