My Favorite Nursery Rhymes

These are the fun ones...the timeless rhymes that beg to be read aloud and remembered forever.

Some rhymes are miniature stories. Others are character sketches done in a few words. They should be illustrated that way, and that's what I've tried to do with this book.

There are allowances for words that are
bygone - "Snips and snails" becomes "Frogs
and snails" - but mostly the rhymes are
retold in their true form.

With one exception! I never liked the ending
to the The Old Woman Who Lived
in a Shoe, so I changed it.

They tell me you shouldn't do that.
I don't care.
