A picture-book adventure in playful nonsense

Two rabbits set out to avoid the Hum-drum and encounter a fantastical world filled with borogoves, slithy toves, and Heffalumps. Built around Cosmo Sheldrake’s song “Come Along,” the story draws on nonsense literature, with the publisher description pointing to the imaginative traditions of Edward Lear and Lewis Carroll. Its world of invented creatures and singing and dancing gives the book a clear focus on wordplay, musicality, and make-believe.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 who enjoy picture-book fantasy and fanciful creatures
  • Families interested in reading aloud, songs, and playful nonsense
  • Young readers encountering wordplay inspired by classic nonsense literature

Book overview

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
