From Booklist
Gr. 6-12. Like fractured fairy tales, these 80 cartoons collected from the New Yorker have fun with the children's folklore everyone knows, setting the old nonsense in contemporary scenarios. The appeal is in the sly commentary on how we live now, and the artists parody the timeless nursery rhymes and fairy tales to poke fun at our pretentious and absurd icons. Some of the best cartoons in this large, spaciously designed volume are by well-known children's book illustrators, but the audience here is not the nursery crowd. In fact, it will be adults who most appreciate the parenting and Wall Street parodies. There's lots of laugh-out-loud stuff for teens, too, whether it's the view of Goldilocks in a police lineup or a hard-boiled Humpty Dumpty. The wicked drawings are a great way to get junior-high and high-school students writing their own fractured fairy tales. Children's poet Goldstein points out in her interesting afterword that many Mother Goose rhymes were born as satirical commentary. These versions continue in that glorious tradition. Hazel Rochman
