50 Mother Goose rhymes that have been reimagined by some of best cartoonists and illustrators around. A real treat!
Timeless nursery rhymes retold in comic book fashion by various artist. Some recognizable in their illustrations and some not. The images help re-imagine these classics and present them in a way that can be scaffold for different level readers.
Mother Goose rhymes have always seemed a little outdated and Euro-centric. I spent quite a bit of time looking for a Mother Goose book to read for this assignment. When the teacher librarian I worked with recommended this graphic novel Mother Goose, I was rather excited. This book takes these older rhymes and pairs them with engaging and hilarious comics. This updated Mother Goose compilation will appeal to a new generation of youth who may or may not have grown up with these rhymes. Very much a fan of updated and revamped traditional stories and rhymes. The Owl and the Pussy Cat is my absolute favorite.
Great for families to read together, could also get children interested in graphic novels at a young age.
Presents fifty traditional nursery rhymes in comic book format, with illustrations by well-known cartoonists.
Such fun and a great way to get older kids into nursery rhymes. I could see this being a great intro for elementary students to traditional and oral tales.
An amazing and entertaining collection of nursery rhymes illustrated by cartoonists, illustrators, and graphic novel artists. It's great fun to see their visual interpretations of the rhymes. A few of my favorites: Nick Bruel's "Three Little Kittens," Rebecca Dart's "If All the Sea Were One Sea," James Sturm's "Jack Be Nimble," and Tao Nyeu's "Rock-a-Bye Baby." A wonderful book all ages will appreciate.
This unique compilation includes all the nursery rhymes you might know and love from childhood (and maybe some you don't)...but presented in a completely different way. One, Two, Buckle My Shoe with clones? Card-playing barn animals in Little Boy Blue? A rock band "The Whips" as part of There Was An Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe?
The more than 50 illustrators who contributed to this collection vary widely in their styles, a testament to how far the graphic novel genre has come. This book is a good hook for reluctant readers who will relate to the well-known verses, but get amusement out of the new artistic liberties the illustrators have taken.

All of the classic nursery rhymes illustrated as comics by various illustrators. Nothing exceptional about this collection however it will appeal to the comic book lovers.
This would be a great book to use to teach dialogue and setting. Plus it's a fun way to teach Nursery Rhmyes. Too many students today are unfamiliar with traditional nursery rhymes.
You would think with so many different books of nursery rhymes in existence that there wouldn’t be space for yet another one. But you’d be wrong. First Second has hist the mark with this book that’s sure to be a new classic. They’ve gathered 50 of the best artists in the world to put their own unique twists on these old tales. The artists range from Patrick McDonnell (creator of Mutts) to Very Brosgol (Anya’s Ghost) to Mike Mignola (Hellboy) to my personal favorite (Lucy Knisley (French Milk.) Each artists takes the classic text of a nursery rhyme and adds thier own interpretation to it. For example, Lucy takes on “There Was and Old Woman Who Lived in A Shoe.” In this reality the old woman really an aging rocker that runs a day care and when she whips the children, well Whips is the name of her band and she and the kids are whipping up some good music till they fall asleep. And there are so many more it’s hard to pick the best.Each artist brings their own unique talents and style of interpreting these rhymes and all of them are absolutely fantastic. This is the perfect book for any age as its sure to put a smile on the young and the young at heart. I highly recommend this book as a great addition to any shelf.
I got a copy of this book through the Amazon Vine program. It was a very fun read and something that I think kids of all ages and adults will both enjoy. There are a number (fifty to be exact) of nursery rhymes illustrated and retold in various ways. Some of them are just beautiful renditions of the nursery rhymes, some of them are ironic retellings, and some of them are fantastic re-imaginings.For example Jack Be Nimble has a little boy making asides about how stupid you would have to be to jump over a candlestick, then when he turns around at the end his pants have a hole burned in them. Three Little Kittens showed how the kittens lost, found, and even made more trouble with their mittens. Little Bo Peep looses her sheep, but her sheep are dream sheep that she counts to stay asleep. The above are just a few examples of the wonderful collection included. All of them were well done. Some were ironic and surprising, some just plain beautiful. The illustration style is all over the place; some are beautiful fantasies, some are cartoony, some are folk-art-like, there is even a sci-fi themed rendition. All are in full color and wonderful.My son, who is four, really enjoyed reading through this with me. He loved some of the twists on the nursery rhymes he already knows. Even my husband who walked by while we were reading this, ended up drawn in and sat down to finish the book with us. It was just such a creative take on a lot of the nursery rhymes; very entertaining and enjoyable to read.Overall I adored this book and am so glad I have it. It will be something I keep in my library so that my son and I can take it out and read it. Fans of nursery rhymes or graphic novels in general should give this a look through. It was wonderful to find something creative like this that both me and my four year old son really enjoyed reading. So if you have kids definitely buy this book and sit down and read it with them! It adds some wonderful excitement to old nursery rhymes and you will see them in a new light after reading this book!
