About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is stuck in a 'logical' rut or needs a spark of creative energy to see the world in a different light. This collection takes the familiar, often dusty rhymes of Mother Goose and injects them with a zany, contemporary energy that celebrates the absurd. It is a brilliant tool for children who are beginning to master language and find joy in wordplay and subverting expectations. Through surreal illustrations and clever 're-rhyming,' the book explores themes of imagination and seeing old things in new ways. It is perfectly suited for elementary schoolers who enjoy a bit of chaos and want a reading experience that feels like a collaborative game between the author and the reader. Parents will appreciate how it turns a traditional bedtime staple into a high-energy, laugh-out-loud bonding session.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book is entirely secular and whimsical. While classic rhymes often have dark origins (like Humpty Dumpty falling), Seibold's approach is absurdist and playful. There is no real peril, only slapstick humor and visual puns.
