| Publisher Description: What happens when Mother Goose dresses up as a flapper, in pearls and a feather boa? She twists and turns her nursery rhymes with fun and flare. Bold blackboard illustrations by Clare Pernice keep the reader guessing who or what will show up next in this hilarious collection of alternative takes on classic rhymes. Meet a hard-boiled Humpty-Dumpty, an out-of-tune Cat and Fiddle, and a whole host of unconventional nursery rhyme characters. |
