About this title

About the Author:

OLEG LIPCHENKO is a member of the Ukrainian Union of Artists. Now based in Toronto, his superb technique and strong sense of design reflect his background in architecture. He has exhibited his art extensively in Canada and across Europe. Lipchenko's first book for Tundra, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, presented a fresh view of the beloved story and was endorsed by the Lewis Carroll Society.

From School Library Journal:

PreS-Gr 2–This attractive picture book holds some old favorites such as “Rock-a-Bye, Baby,” “What Are Little Boys Made of, Made of?” and “There Was an Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe” as well as some lesser-known, equally strong rhymes. The illustrations are done in a dark palette and are more sophisticated than those in typical nursery- rhyme books. Throughout, a page of rhyme and monochromatic spot art faces an intricate illustration. Children will enjoy the details in the artwork and trying to match them with details in the verses. This welcome offering will intrigue readers.Joan Kindig, James Madison University, Harrisonburg, VA
