5-0 out of 5 stars Nash-ional best seller
At the risk of seeming rash5-0 out of 5 stars Nash-itize!
Ogden Nash is my favorite poet, and I probably like his poems on different animals the most. They're quicker. Quick poems are prefferred by me, because they don't take too long to read and I can sit and think about them, and even feel like reading them again. Here's one, and I didn't write it, Ogden Nash did:5-0 out of 5 stars My favorite bedtime read to my daughters.
I look forward to these verses again and again.Unlike most bedtime stories, you can set the length of reading time to your situation.the humor stimulates your imagination and makes you want to add verses.Justlots of fun! ... Read more

Editorial Review

Do you remember brave Belinda and her "realio, trulio, little pet dragon"? This Ogden Nash classic has been a favorite of children for more than 60 years and until recently was unavailable in a picture-book version. Artist Lynn Munsinger has rejuvenated the poem with her chuckle-inducing illustrations of no-nonsense Belinda and the cowardly green and purple dragon Custard. Belinda was a brave role model for young girls back when females weren't encouraged to stand up for themselves, and Custard's hidden reserve of strength has no doubt inspired children for several generations. Hooked on Custard? The next adventure unfolds in Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars The Tale of Custard theDragon
It is wonderful poem of bravery and adventure for children.

4-0 out of 5 stars Ending could be better
I enjoy the poetry of Ogden Nash -- he has a fun style, which is well-apparent in this book.The pictures are delightful also.I felt a little let down by the author's ending because I expected the dragon to rise above his fears. However, I used the story as an opportunity to discuss with my child how she thought the story should finish.Together we wrote in a newending line and are happy with the result. It probably turned out better with her getting involved in the story this way.

5-0 out of 5 stars My nephew loved it
My six year old nephew loved this book. He apparently was so upset when it was inadvertently left at the airport that I had to buy another. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars WHO WOULD NOT WANT A TRULIO PET DRAGON
MY SON LOVES BOTH OF OGDEN NASHES BOOKS..........
5-0 out of 5 stars Get this and continue the Custard adventure
Another great book about Custard the Dragon!Have just as much fun with this book - My son loved this one!

3-0 out of 5 stars Gotta love Nash
This is the 1961 sequel to "The Tale of Custard the Dragon" which was written in 1936.Both books are beautifully and imaginatively illustrated by Lynn Munsinger in their 1995 & 1996 publications.As with other works by Nash, the verse and illustrations vie for significance and importance.His couplets are cute with his tongue in cheek.The words and images carry a slightly archaic, old fashioned overtone that is pleasing.Read more

This is a terrific book.In using it as a children's librarian, I never met a kid who didn't love it -- and many wanted to check it out right away.It's got a strong heroine & lots of humor.James Marshall's pictures are perfect for the Ogden Nash poem. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars This book taught me to love reading
One of my earliest memories of reading includes The Animal Garden. My grandparents had it at their house, and they probably read it to me hundreds of times. They loved all sorts of poetry, and I loved the idea of planting seeds that would grow into pets just like flowers. I still find it to be a great read because of the wonderful verse and the enthralling pictures. I think a nostalgic vision of Abidan Alseed will be with me always.Read more

"Blum" "Blum is a word ..." I cannot hear the title of this book without having the poem "Blum" come to mind.This is not because it is the best poem in the anthology - rather it is because Ihave not found the poem elsewhere.Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Great book for kids and adults!
In my opinion, The Cruise of the Aardvark is one of Ogden Nash's best works.While toned down a bit, his sarcastic wit and unique verse is quite entertaining.The book is also educational, as children (and adults) learn some facts about aardvarks they may not have known.The book also has a great moral, teaching that everyone is unique, and while we're different, we are equally made.I reccomend this book for anyone, whether they have kids or not.I don't have kids, but I like to keep a copy on my coffee table for when I have guests.It always gets a good laugh. ...
