Sense and Non-Sense: Life on Nonsense Street

Strange things are afoot when the "Normal" family comes to live on Nonsense Street in Tory Hanlen's Sense and Non-Sense, a charming story about families and their differences. Hanlen uses rhyming verse to tell the story of the Normal family as seen through the eyes of the Nonsense family who do things the "nonsense" way, such as eating dinner with their hands and teaching their children to read books upside down! When the Normals move into the neighborhood and start saying hello to strangers, washing their hands before dinner and sending their children to school every day, the Nonsense family does not know what to make of it.
