The Unfrightened Dark

By Isabelle Holland

Book Overview

Mother Goose gets a makeover in this vibrant new collection of childhood classics. This innovative Mother Goose collection combines family favorites with less well-known rhymes in a bright, new package. Here Little Miss Muffet and her tuffet meet Gregory Griggs and his twenty-seven wigs, and the cat and the fiddle are not the only music-makers--there's also Terrence McDiddler the Three-Stringed Fiddler. From "Hickory, Dickory Dock" to "Higgelty, Piggelty Pop," Petra Mathers and her vivid, quirky illustrations capture the timeless joy and cleverness that are inherently Mother Goose. This modern collection of Mother Goose classics promises to enchant and delight a new generation of nursery rhyme readers.

Customer Reviews

Real cool book!! Hard to follow, AT FIRST!

This book is really good! It was interesting as you slowly become Jocelyn, the main character. You begin to see things from her point of vue and feel the bond between her and Brace, her guide dog.
