Excerpt

Mary had a little jam;
she spread it on a waffle.
And if she hadn't eaten ten,
she wouldn't feel so awful.

Reviews

“Chock-full of chuckles!”
-–Shari Lewis and Lamb Chop

“An instant classic. Move over Mother Goose!”
–-Peggy Gisler, Dear Teacher syndicated columnist

“Long overdue! A kinder, gentler Mother Goose… and funny, too!”
--Christine Clark, Editor Humpty Dumpty’s Magazine

"This book is recommended for children aged three-to-eight with the younger child enjoying the rhymes and the silliness, and the older child appreciating the subtle humor."
--Janet Miserandino, TheCelebrityCafe.com

“Children will laugh out loud when they hear these adaptations of the old childhood classics and when they look at the amusing little illustrations that accompany the rhymes."
--Marya Jansen-Gruber, Editor Through the Looking Glass Children’s Book Review

About the Author

“I’ve retained the memorable rhythm-and-rhyme pattern of the original nursery rhymes and replaced the mean-spirited, violent, and sexist stuff with humor,” says Lansky.
