Children aren't happy
with nothing to ignore,
And that's what parents
were created for.
Rather than ignore their father, Ogden Nash's daughters scoured all their resources to collect 548 of their father's poems in this newly published collection. The Best of Ogden Nash includes entries found in the Nash archives and in family letters and papers, in addition to beloved old favorites and other previously-anthologized work. The foreword by Linell Nash Smith is a sweet paean to both her father and her sister Isabel, who was her coeditor, but who died before the book was published. And the poems are, of course, national treasures.
