Bruno Munari invites children to play with the sounds and shapes of words, cutting out and gluing other letters to the pages of the book. Because learning to read cannot be boring, nor does it have to make sense.
In fact, Munari in this book invents nursery rhymes by juxtaposing words that do not mean together, but repeating sounds and legraphies that children have to make friends with. For it is the rhythm that fascinates children, and not the meaning. Reading and writing thus becomes a fun discovery.
