Grumbles from the Town: Mother-Goose Voices with a TwistHardcover, 13 September 2016

Fourteen Mother-Goose rhymes enjoyed by generations of children are creatively presented as "poem pairs"--with a twist!--in this playful poetry picture book.

Mother Goose has a few secrets tucked in her feathers! Did you know that the shoe loved the Old Woman and her many children? And that the three blind mice weren't actually blind, only near-sighted? Or that Humpty Dumpty fell when skateboarding on a wall?

Featuring wildly different voices and perspectives, this terrific read-aloud features with stunning illustrations and hilarious details. The book includes the original Mother Goose rhymes, endnotes that briefly describe their history, and an introduction that invites readers to imagine their own poems from unusual perspectives and "create magic."
