Herrings Go About the Sea in Shawls: And Other Classic Howlers from Classrooms and Examination Papers

Summary: Amusing and cleverly illustrated
Review: I own an original copy of this wonderful publication entitled The Omnibus Boners. It was copyrighted in 1931. I loved it as a small boy and refer to it often for the delightful quotations. It is a wonder filled collection of what actually go's on in the juvenile mind. The writings are genuine and as an amusing sidelight, they expose the changes in our educational standards since 1931. Dr. Seuss' illustrations are sometimes reminiscent of his later publications like Horton, Cat in the Hat, Grinch, etc..
