5.0 out of 5 stars
One of the most enjoyable children's books for all ages.,
By lnoshay@hotmail.com (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Great Big Ugly Man Came Up and Tied His Horse to Me: A Book of Nonsense Verse (Paperback)
Our whole family enjoyed this book. The poems are silly, the illustrations are fun, and we always seemed to laugh a lot. I wouldn't trade those evenings reading with the boys for anything! We bought our local bookstore out and have given them away to friends. We are down to our own copy and need more for our sons homes.

Delightful combination of silly verse & clever illustrations,
By A Customer
This review is from: A Great Big Ugly Man Came Up and Tied His Horse to Me: A Book of Nonsense Verse (Paperback)
This marvelous combination of nonsense verse and clever illustrations is a joy to read again and again. On first reading it one can revel in the joy of the silly verse and the whimsical drawings, and any child will delight in all the apparent foolishness. But on subsequent readings you will be drawn to the details in the pictures. Suddenly, the signs, books, records, will become the focus of your reading and then the fun really begins. The reader will come back time and again to study the pictures for the fun and whimsy that Tripp has included in his illustrations. Share this book with a child but make sure to give yourself time to enjoy the bits of fun and silliness that Tripp has included for the dedicated reader.

A Great Big Ugly Man Came Up and Tied His Horse To Me,
By Bill Hillgaertner (La Center, WA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Great Big Ugly Man Came Up and Tied His Horse to Me: A Book of Nonsense Verse (Paperback)
My wife bought our family copy when it first came out in 1973. She was at a conference in Boston and saw it go on display. Our daughter, born 1971, was raised on it and both my wife and I can quote passages at the drop of a word. Favorites are "The Slithergadee" and "The common cormorant or shag...." Our daughter is now expecting her first child (our first grandchild) and we presented her with our copy. We have recently purchased a paperback copy to read when the child is at our home. Our daughter's sister-in-law read our original copy and is now looking for a copy to read to her son. It is great for teaching children reading and an understanding of art and life. (Yes, I have several Wallace Tripp illustrations.)
