Their heads are green, their hands are blue There's something lovely about a group of 2-5 year olds chanting along: Unlike Dr Seuss, who is superficially delightful but brutal to read night after night to cribsfulls of rabid infants, Lear remains fun to read. The Jumblies, The Dong with the Luminous Nose, The Pelican Chorus, are all heartbreaking and beautiful at the same time they are goofy childish fun. A little more vim that way.īest known for The Owl and The Puss圜at, Lear is at his best when he is that rarest of things, funny and sad at the same time.
