Product Description

The classic nursery rhymes we know and love—upside-down, backward, in gibberish, and fresh out of bounds—as only Jon Scieszka could stage them.

Mother knows best, but sometimes a little nonsense wins the day. Inspired by Dadaism's rejection of reason and rational thinking, and in cahoots with Blanche Fisher Wright's The Real Mother Goose, this anthology of absurdity unravels the fabric of classic nursery rhymes and stitches them back together (not quite is string_containing orgether) in every clever way possible. One by one, cherished nursery rhymes—from Humpty Dumpty to Hickory Dickory Dock, Jack Be Nimble to Mother Hubbard—fall prey to sly subversion as master of fracture Jon Scieszka and acclaimed illustrator Julia Rothman refashion them into comics strips, errant book reports, anagrams, and manic mash-ups. Playfully reconstructed, the thirty-six old-new rhymes invite further creativity, bringing kids in on the joke and inviting them to revel in reimagining. Featuring robust back matter, this irreverent take on the rhymes of childhood is a rich resource across grade levels, and a love song to a living language.

From School Library Journal

K-Gr 3—The off-kilter table of contents clues readers in to a less-than-conventional approach as Scieszka "play[s] around" with familiar characters and rhymes such as Humpty Dumpty, Jack Be Nimble, Old Mother Hubbard, Hey Diddle Diddle, Hickory Dickory Dock, and Twinkle Twinkle. Each of them is followed by several variations, including "censored" versions, a (failed) multiple choice test, a comic strip, haiku, Spoonerism, a recipe, a news report, and more. At the end, readers are invited to participate: "One, two, buckle my shoe./ Now YOU make these old rhymes new." Back matter includes note on Egyptian hieroglyphs, various codes, anagrams, and puzzles, Mother Goose history, and copyright; Rothman created the art for the book using collage and Blanche Fisher Wright illustrations. As the Little Dog says in the news report, "It was crazy, I just had to laugh."

Review

Kids who love word games, secret codes or Mad Libs will get a kick out of the latest from Scieszka, the funny, anarchic force behind The Stinky Cheese Man and The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs! Like those books, this is an irreverent, revisionist take on a classic. . . playful experiments will inspire curiosity about the possibilities of language and the vagaries of communication. . . Rothman cleverly combines Blanche Fisher Wright's 1916 illustrations for The Real Mother Goose with her own subversive interventions.

Deconstructed nursery rhymes entertain and delight in this mischievous endeavor. . . . Stand aside, fractured fairy tales; neoist nursery rhymes are the new name of the game. Creativity incarnate.

In this children's literature hat trick, Scieszka (the AstroNuts series) and Rothman (Can I Eat That?) mash up a loving spoof of the Blanche Fisher Wright classic, an introduction to Dadaism, and a tribute to Raymond Queneau's renowned literary experiment Exercises in Style. . . Brains will be thoroughly twisted and tickled by this giddy, handsome celebration of language and logic.

Fans of visual jokes and inspired, goofy wordplay will fall on this transformation of Blanche Fisher Wright's classic Real Mother Goose with honks of delight.

Nobody knows better than Scieszka how to turn a kiddie tale on its head and produce true, gleeful chaos. Now the mind that bought readers Battle Bunny returns with another exercise in DIY iconoclasm, offering strategies to reca
