Synopsis

Little Miss Muffet is bored. She is tired of her same old nursery rhyme and she has had enough of that scary, little spider! So off she goes into the pages of the book to try other nursery rhymes. Falling down a hill with Jack and Jill was too painful, running up a clock is just embarrassing and running away with the spoon caused a great ruckus with the dish! Soon Little Miss Muffet was running through the pages of the book and creating chaos throughout the rhymes. All of the characters were doing the wrong thing! Until Little Miss Muffet decided that she no longer needed a change.

Mother Goose has never been funnier than in this outrageously silly picture book!

From School Library Journal:

PreSchool-Grade 2—A whimsical look at the world of Mother Goose. Little Miss Muffet, cute as a button, is tired of the same old, same old. Looking to escape the drudgery of her life, she seeks excitement in other rhymes. True to the old adage, "the grass is always greener," a wide-eyed Miss M. tries, with little success, to find a place in the "Grand Old Duke of York," "Jack and Jill," "Hickory, Dickory, Dock," "Ding, Dong, Bell," "Hey Diddle, Diddle," "Sing a Song of Sixpence," and "The Queen of Hearts." Witty prose and updated interpretations are complemented by Williamson's exuberant illustrations. Colorful, comical, and energetic, the characters race through the pages to the story's end, in which sweet Miss Muffet concludes that she no longer needs a change. That is, until a certain spider comes along...—Trish Sabini, Ossining Public Library, NY
