Ms. Phillips' illustrations are charming, fanciful, detailed, extraordinarily beautiful - and worthy of multiple viewings. This rhymed story will tickle young funny bones while delivering a sensitive, subtle message about how special each person is. Young and old alike will learn a wonderful way to deal with put-downs and mean personal remarks.

Terrific book with a wonderful message. It reminds kids why they should believe what they know to be true about themselves and not listen to the mean things people might say. We found this at the library then had to buy it!

Excellent book for teaching children social skills, specifically how to deal with and avoid bullying.

My four year old first had this book read to him last year in pre-school. He simply loved it. I love how it shows children to have self-confidence in who they are. So fun!

"Nonsense" is a real find, a true gem! Ms. Phillips has written one of those rare children's books that will delight not only kids but parents, too, with its delightful illustrations, fun prose and an important lesson for children of all ages. Perfect for old and young to share again and again.

Kids will delight in the wonderfully whimsical art while shouting "Nonsense!" to all sorts of absurdities, including the most important one -- that they're not exactly right just the way they are. Perfect for classrooms and one-on-one sharing.

Ms. Phillips has created a kid lit gem with Nonsense! As she did with Cake, Cake, Cake, Pie! she has filled her latest offering with enticing, colorful images that are immediately appealing to readers of all ages. She skillfully draws the reader in with whimsical rhymes and nonsensical abstractions, thereby gaining their full attention for her empowering final message.

I have read zillions of children's books as a parent and teacher.
Nonsense is a winner! It delivers an empowering message with the right combination of humor and whimsy and should be part of every elementary school curriculum.
A fantastic book to read to initiate discussion about individuality, differences in learning styles and approaches to life.Boosts self-confidence and self-esteem. Ms. Kahler-Phillips helps get an important message across in a simple but powerful way. Thanks!

Nonsense will charm and engage parents as much as their children - this is much more of a shared experience for families than a mere picture book. Not only will this beautifully illustrated story become a favorite to read again and again, it will provoke important conversation that transcends generation. Easily one of the year's best, and a classic in the making.
