As a child, he taught himself to read and skipped several grades before landing at Harvard (after a brief stint in the army). Then he built a name for himself as a popular book illustrator. After that, he went on to publish well over one hundred of his own books, stories that mingled sweetness and innocence, danger and darkness, all mixed with his own brand of silliness. Illustrated with Gorey-like humor and inspiration by Chloe Bristol, this stunning picture book biography about this beloved creator is the first for children.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lori Mortensen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0358033683\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780358033684\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Versify\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/24\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 40\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.70h x 9.30w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.2\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.5\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Middle Grade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e515539 \/ Nonsense!: The Curious Story of Edward Gorey\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/23\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2020 pg. 86\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2020 pg. 38\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBulletin of Ctr for Child Bks\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eShelf Awareness\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/03\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2020","brand":"Lori Mortensen","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44050922963199,"sku":"9780358033684","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4e551219-93f9-451a-b183-2c8581441a5a.jpg?v=1685010037","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/nonsense-lori-mortensen-9780358033684","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
