by Edward Lear, David Wood, Sheila Ruskin
What readers are saying
Readers have mixed feelings about the adaptation of Lear's classic poem. While some appreciate the fun elements, others feel it tries too hard and suffers from clunky execution and excessive slapstick humor.
Synopsis
A musical dramatization of the adventures of the Owl and Pussycat at sea and in the Land where the Bong Trees grow.
Press Reviews

— Evening News
"We all had a splendiferous time."
