About this Item

A beautifully reimagined and illustrated edition of classic poet Edward Lear's unfinished nonsense verse poem by award-winning illustrators Charles Santore and Nicholas Santore, which celebrates diversity and the importance of accepting others."Chippetty tip! Chippetty tip! Its only name is the Scroobious Pip." Unfinished at the time of Edward Lear's death in 1888, "The Scroobious Pip" is a fantastical journey into the world of beasts, birds, fish, and insects as these creatures try to determine what, exactly, the Scroobious Pip is. In the end, the Scroobious Pip's unique nature is embraced and he is welcomed among all animals, fish, and insects. Award-winning illustrator, Charles Santore, crafted a fabulously clever interpretation of the illusive Pip before his death in 2019, and his son, acclaimed artist Nicholas Santore, has fully realized his father's vision in the beautiful paintings that bring to life Lear's humorous nonsensical poem.
