About this product
Product Information
Fourteen Mother-Goose rhymes enjoyed by generations of children are creatively presented as "poem pairs"--with a twist!--in this playful poetry picture book. Mother Goose has a few secrets tucked in her feathers! Did you know that the shoe loved the Old Woman and her many children? And that the three blind mice weren't actually blind, only near-sighted? Or that Humpty Dumpty fell when skateboarding on a wall? Featuring wildly different voices and perspectives, this terrific read-aloud features with stunning illustrations and hilarious details. The book includes the original Mother Goose rhymes, endnotes that briefly describe their history, and an introduction that invites readers to imagine their own poems from unusual perspectives and "create magic."

Reviews
"This quirky Mother Goose book turns convention on its head. Each of the 14 selections contemporizes a traditional rhyme and pairs it with a rebuttal or an aside by a grumpy protagonist... inventive." --Kirkus Reviews "Creative... broad-ranging... spins on Mother Goose nursery rhymes... Whimsical, cartoonish acrylic-and-pencil illustrations incorporate playful details and decorative page embellishments, blending classic scenarios and contemporary settings and elements. A playful addition to any poetry section." --Booklist "The imaginative poems can tickle the funny bone... an excellent choice for writing workshops and classroom prompts." --School Library Journal "Taking the traditional Mother Goose rhymes, Yolen and Dotlich have written two accompanying verses from a different point of view...each poem is short enough to keep children engaged. The acrylic and colored pencil illustrations are humorous and will appeal to the very young... (t)his title would be a great supplement to instruction in poetry or point of view for older children. Students would be encouraged to create their own twisted versions of Mother Goose rhymes." --Library Media Connection, Recommended, "This quirky Mother Goose book turns convention on its head.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
