Customer Reviews

I wish they'd been written this way first!

I've shared this book with my oldest granddaughter and she loves it. I've also bought a copy for my newest granddaughter. Hopefully her parents will bring her up with the mindset contained within. Why anyone would criticize this book as saccharine is beyond me. Isn't there already enough pain, fear, anger etc. in the world?

What is Horn Book thinking!?!?!

This was one of our family's FAVORITE books when my kids were preschoolers! The sing-song nature of the rhymes makes them easier to memorize, and the positive outlook they imbue is so refreshing compared to the dark outlook of so many of the rhymes they replace. It's just unfortunate that the kids wound up learning the original versions of the rhymes at school and don't remember these bright alternatives.
