Little Miss Muffet and Other Rhymes

Divergent, playful, innovative, quirky, expansive, are just a handful of the many adjectives that spring to mind after a first perusal of this deceptively simple book of rhymes. Small in format it may be but each of the twenty or so offerings an eclectic mix of traditional nursery rhymes including Humpty Dumpty , Little Miss Muffet and Baa Baa Black Sheep , oddities such as Daisy Daisy , Old Mr Match and the infant child-devouring Grizzly Bear presented on that small screen, enlarge our perspective of the rhyme obliging the reader to look at it in an entirely new way. Thus Humpty Dumpty is presented merely as T U M P H Y while Pease Pudding is three white circles containing red matter, blue matter, and green matter with a spoon strategically angled on the third to become part of the text of the last line. A fascinating book for all ages especially those with an interest in design and graphics. –‘Books for Keeps’ March edition 2010 Little Miss Muffet and Other Rhymes This book is a real treat for us adults as well as children: it’s very attractive, but also interactive and entertaining to keep younger audiences interested, whilst at the same time providing a great, educational tool for teachers.
