Yes, there's something strange, something funny and even downright preposterous on every page of this book. But it's not a mistake - it's nonsense!

This fanciful bending of reality is also basic to surrealism. In this book, nonsense and surrealism combine to spark creativity and imagination. What's true? What's impossible?
