A beautifully reexamined and illustrated edition of the classic poet Edward Lear, depicting the unfinished poem of the cartoonist, by the award-winning illustrators Charles Santore and Nicholas Santore. The work celebrates diversity and the importance of accepting others.

“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 fantastic journey into the world of beasts, birds, fish, and insects as they try to determine exactly what the Scroobious Pip is.

In the end, the unique nature of the Scroobious Pip is accepted and he is welcomed by all the animals, fish, and insects. The award-winning illustrator Charles Santore created a marvelous and clever interpretation of the mysterious Pip before his death in 2019, and his son, the acclaimed artist Nicholas Santore, has completed his father's vision with the beautiful paintings that bring Lear’s humorous poem to life.
