Synopsis
In the witty sequel to Fairly Fairy Tales, Esmé Raji Codell’s latest picture book features charming twists on the beloved Mother Goose nursery rhymes.
Could space aliens pay a visit in Twinkle Twinkle Little Star?
Could a giraffe go to school in Mary Had a Little Lamb?
Could the blackbirds in Sing a Song of Sixpence really play guitars?
Sometimes the answer is “yes” and sometimes it’s “no”—but the fun is in the asking! Gifted writer and educator Esmé Raji Codell asks these questions and more in a wonderful and witty picture book that both children and parents are sure to love. With a kid-friendly style and vivid detail, Elisa Chavarri’s sweet illustrations bring these beloved nursery rhymes boldly and humorously to life.

From School Library Journal
PreS-Gr 1-When it's a rainy day at Mother Goose Nursery School, the teacher cheers up the children with fun presentations of nursery rhymes. The six rhymes she recites during indoor recess include "Mary Had a Little Lamb," "Baa, Baa, Black Sheep," and "Sing a Song of Sixpence." Each rhyme ends with four questions. After "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star," the teacher asks the children, "Window? Star? Wish?" and the children say, "Yes," because these words are featured in the rhyme and digital illustrations. The last question is meant to be humorous. "Space aliens?" The children scream out, "Nooooo!" but when the page is turned, they see the possibility of aliens interacting with nursery rhyme characters. Notable spreads show 16 nursery rhyme characters dressed in formal wear. The maids in "Mary Mary Quite Contrary" look like flowers, and while the children play "Ring Around the Rosie," Bo Peep and Boy Blue get married under a trellis of Mary's flowers. VERDICT A wonderful follow-up to Fairly Fairy Tales.-Tanya Boudreau, Cold Lake Public Library, AB, Canadaα(c) Copyright 2011. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
