Oh a funny place is the Land of NodAnd funny the people thereThe dewdrops all sprout like peas in a podWhile blossoms the doughnut fairThe griddlecake bush runs syrup for sapThe plumtrees grow puddings so fatYes the Land of Nod is the best on the mapThe finest I ever was atWhen Tinkie and Tess refuse to go to sleep on Christmas Eve they catch the Sand Man on his evening rounds The three of them fly away together on a moonbeam to the Land of Nod where they encounter the Welsh Rabbit the Educated Cow King Snooze and other extraordinary characters This bedtime story classic features numerous enchanting illustrations from the original 1909 edition by Edward L Chase
