The Ernie and Bert Book by Joe MathieuMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I value the ability to laugh at and invent the absurd, both in myself and others. This shaggy dog story is Ernie's extensive narration of apparently irrelevant rearrangements he has made that spiral out into cartoonish absurdity like And to Think That I Saw it on Mulberry Street. This terminates with the anticlimactic punchline of why Bert has a pot on his head on the cover. Good stuff to hopefully spark a love for the absurd in a young reader.
