This wonderful, delightful rhyming poem was written in 1888 by Edward Lear. Lear is famous for his nonsense poems and limericks. Nicholas Santore and his late father, Charles, are responsible for the magnificent illustrations that adorn each page of The Scroobious Pip.

I will not summarize The Scroobious Pip because it will be more fun to discover it on your own. It is a joyful read for children and adults of all ages.
