About the book

Beloved nursery rhymes told with a twist.  In Little Bo Peep, the narrator is one of the sheep who say "In the first place she didn't lose us," or in Hickory Dickory Dock the story is told from the viewpoint of the clock.  In Little Miss Muffet, the spider says "I was invited to that fateful lunch."  There is also a politically correct version of Little Bo Peep, as well as Hey, Diddle Diddle told as a sermon by a fundamentalist preacher, plus A Diller, A Dollar, Mary Had a Little Lamb, Jack and Jill and Humpty Dumpty.
