About The Scroobious Pip
“Chippetty tip! Chippetty tip! Its only name is the Scroobious Pip.” Unfinished at the time of Edward Lear’s death in 1888, The Scroobious Pip is a fantastical journey into the world of beasts, birds, fish, and insects as these creatures try to determine what, exactly, the Scroobious Pip is. In the end, the Scroobious Pip’s unique nature is embraced and he is welcomed among all animals, fish, and insects
A beautifully reimagined and illustrated edition of classic poet Edward Lear’s unfinished nonsense verse poem by award-winning illustrators Charles Santore and Nicholas Santore, which celebrates diversity and the importance of accepting others.
