Come Along (Hardcover)

Come Along and discover a joyous debut picture book rooted in the whimsical tradition of nonsense literature and based on the viral hit-sensation song 

COME ALONG
Come along catch a Heffalump
Sit with me on a muddy clump
We’ll sing a song of days gone by . . .

Set sail on a timeless adventure with two rabbits determined not to get caught by the Hum-drum. Together, they discover a world of borogoves, slithy toves, and Heffalumps, ready to dance and sing ’til sundown.

Packed with nonsensical whimsy and anarchic joy, this book is a merry romp through the imaginative worlds of Edward Lear and Lewis Carroll.

SO... Come along! Get you gone and have some fun!

"A glorious tumble of words and images –- a joyful, foot-tapping, spirit-zinging extravagant gallivant of a story that torrents off the tongue and lifts the heart!"--Robert Macfarlane
 

"A delicious, rolling adventure through a magical world inhabited by humdrums, heffalumps, and rare type specimens. This book nourishes me with its nonsense and makes my spirit sing."-- Merlin Sheldrake, author of Entangled Life

"Embedded with references to children’s classics, including the works of Lewis Carroll and A. A. Milne, this jaunty, irresistible picture book stands to delight children and parents alike.” --Foreword, starred review
