Mary Middling and Other Silly Folk


Book Description

Here's a treat for young Mother Goose fans who are ready for something new. With the lively lilt of nursery rhymes and an abundance of silliness, these poems introduce the naughty girl who threw a bun at the teacher, the fellow who eats all his meals upside down, and the king and queen who can't agree on anything at all--to mention just a few of the quirky characters who frolic through these pages. Short, catchy verses, collected here in picture book form for the first time, will delight readers and listeners with their gentle absurdity. Katja Bandlow's illustrations depict the silly folk with whimsy and good cheer. Christopher Corker, Lanky Lawrence, and their eccentric friends deserve a place next to Jack Sprat and Peter Pumpkin Eater on every nursery bookshelf!

Baby Goose


Book Description

Hark, hark the dogs do bark, The babies are heading for home, Some with hats, and some with cats, And one with a brush and a comb. From beloved author Kate McMullan and illustrator Pascal Lemaître comes the perfect collection of nursery rhymes for the bouncing baby in any family. Kate has selected rhymes with the most baby appeal, and then replaced the traditional hero or heroine with a baby. The result is utterly irresistible. Divided into sections and illustrated with Pascal's boisterous little ones, this makes a wonderful first introduction to Mother Goose and is a perfect gift for the mom-to-be, newborn, or young child.
