Delightful illustrations reinvigorate the rhyme

"Hey Diddle Diddle" reprints the familiar nursery rhyme with illustrations by Jeanette Winter. The artist brings new life to this rhyme with her whimsical, quirky creations. She makes very effective use of pastel colors set against a star-spangled, dark night sky. Her artwork is full of fun and imaginative touches, such as the lavender pinstripes on the cat's trousers. Winter has visualized a surreal fantasy landscape that is cheery and inviting, and populated with friendly-looking characters.

over the moon

Our 19 month old son loves this book! He likes to point out the different animals and characters, especially the big moon. This book is good for young children because you turn the pages quickly, as there's not much writing. The pictures are cute and colorful, especially the little dog who laughed!
