New Adventures of Mother Goose: Gentle Rhymes for Happy Times - Bruce Lansky - Hardcover

This children's classic has been updated with a kinder, gentler, yet highly entertaining "sequel." The sometimes meanspirited & frightening versions of the past have been replaced with upbeat & contemporary nursery rhymes that will tickle a child's funny bone. The all-new poems still have the familiar characters & rhyme patterns kids love, but the violence, sexism, & meanness are gone. In the old version, "The Old Woman Who Lived In A Shoe" beat her children for no apparent reason before sending them to bed. In the new version, when "when the strong summer sun was to hot to handle," the old woman who lives in a shoe "packed up her things & moved to a sandal." #7 on The New York Times Children's Best Sellers list. Complimented by more than 40 full-color illustrations by Stephen Carpenter. "Long overdue! A kinder, gentler Mother Goose - & funny too!" (Humpty Dumpty's Magazine). "Chock full of chuckles!"
