Porridge Poetry (Stokes 1924, Cape 1925)
This collection of the imaginative, mysterious, bizarre and downright silly is illustrated by some of Hugh Lofting's finest artwork. Porridge Poetry introduces children to a literary form that most adults consider beyond the comprehension of youngsters--far too highbrow. Again, Hugh Lofting's almost mystical skill for connecting with his young audience comes into play.
In this volume the Porridge Poet fires the imagination, enticing you to wonder why Mr. Beers is digging a tunnel down to China, and what the Chinese think of that? What other adventures the Pirate of the Kitchen Sink might have besides terrorizing innocent cups and saucers? And just what tales is the Palm Family whispering about at the edge of an African Lagoon? ---Christopher Lofting
