Could the blackbirds in Sing a Song of Sixpence really play guitars?

Sometimes the answer is "yes" and sometimes it's "no"--but the fun is in the asking! Gifted writer and educator Esmé Raji Codell asks these questions and more in a wonderful and witty picture book that both children and parents are sure to love. With a kid-friendly style and vivid detail, Elisa Chavarri's sweet illustrations bring these beloved nursery rhymes boldly and humorously to life.

Publisher's Weekly Review

Codell and Chavarri reprise the irreverent conceit of 2011's Fairly Fairy Tales, offering condensed versions of six nursery rhymes. Rhymes like "Baa, Baa, Black Sheep" and "Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary" appear in their full, traditional forms, followed by call-and-response recaps that end with out-of-left-field twists (" 'Black sheep?' 'Yes.' 'Wool?' 'Yes.' 'Bags?' 'Yes.' 'Camera?' 'Nooooo!' "). "Well, maybe," reads the following page, as Mother Goose, the Dish and the Spoon, and other recognizable characters don black-tie finery for a red-carpet-worthy photo shoot. Readers who are familiar with the original rhymes will be giggling over these quirky interpretations. Ages 4-8. Author's agent: Edward Necarsulmer IV, Dunow, Carlsen & Lerner.
