Synopsis:
A gruesomely funny parody for ages 4 and up.
Old Monster Goose has turned Mother Goose's world of nursery rhymes inside out! Here she presents twenty-five deliciously disgusting new poems, filled with rodents and maggots, zombies and ghouls, spiders and, of course, monsters. Remember King Cole? That terrible troll washes his feet in the toilet bowl. And poor Mistress Mary, her garden's quite scary--its killer potatoes ate all her tomatoes and now are out looking for Mary!

About the Author:
Judy Sierra has been writing laugh-out-loud, read-aloud picture books for 25 years. She has worked with some of the cleverest illustrators, like Marc Brown, Melissa Sweet, J. Otto Siebold, Will Hillenbrand, and two-Caldecott Award winner Stephen Gammell.
Judy's books are for ages four to eight. They aim to stretch children's vocabularies, tickle their funnybones, and extol the virtues of kindness, perseverance, friendship, and the joys of a life filled with books.
"I try to create stories and rhymes that will entice children ages four to eight," she explains, "but I know that picture books are shared across generations. So I alwasy add a bit of sly humor and wordplay for adults. I'm especially pleased when an online reviewer says they don't mind reading my books again and again."
Judy Sierra lives in Portland, Oregon, with her husband Bob and their library-card-carrying poodle, Keiko.
