About the Author
Edward Lear (1812-1888) was an author and illustrator who popularized limericks and is perhaps best known for his poem "The Owl and the Pussycat."
Praise for The Duck and the Kangaroo…
“Masterful…Wattenberg’s quirky photo collages are perfectly suited for Lear’s nonsensical text.”
-Booklist
“Top marks for visual exuberance; this is the first separate edition of the verses available in this country in decades.”
-Kirkus Reviews
“This title’s delightfully silly verse, paired perfectly with elaborate pictures to scrutinize, should not be missed.”
-School Library Journal (starred review)
