About this title

About the Author:

Iza Trapani was just seven years old when she and her mother left Warsaw, Poland, for the United States. An award-winning writer and illustrator, Trapani's work has been featured on PBS Storytime and at the White House Easter Egg Roll. She also received the Rip Van Winkle Award, presented by the School Library Media Specialists of Southeastern New York, for her contribution to children's literature. Her bestselling book, The Itsy-Bitsy Spider, has sold over one million copies.

From School Library Journal:

PreS-K-Trapani begins this delightful picture book with the six lines of the traditional nursery rhyme. Then a grand imagination transports Little Miss Muffet into other adventurous encounters with nature, where she meets a frog, a moose, and a crow, to name a few. Little Miss Muffet finally settles down after her harrowing day to bedtime coziness. The artwork clearly supports the humor found in the eight additional verses. Children can view a variety of perspectives, such as the child falling head first into water, exposing only her black shoes and drenched pantaloons. Group leaders can use this story to guide the audience as they act out the abundance of action words with the verses. Simple musical notation is included.-Blair Christolon, Prince William Public Library System, Manassas, VAα(c) Copyright 2013. Library Journal. LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
