In this book Dan
Yaccarino adds a twist to the familiar realm of Mother Goose. He
put the classic Mother Goose poems in a city setting, giving the rhymes a new
fresh perspective. In this book Mary's lamb follows her to school in a
taxi and Miss Muffet meets a spider in a dinner! Find out more of Yaccarino's
unique additions to Mother Goose!
Dan Yaccarino does a great job at portraying the many characters in this story. He uses clean lines, unusual palette, and eye catching patterns to make this book. Yaccarino uses very clean markings, there are no smudges. Each illustration adds character to the text.
For this book I would have my students make up their own poems. Then I would have them compare their rhymes to the original. I could also have the student’s count how many stanzas are in theirs and in the stories for a math lesson. Each student would then have to tell the rhyme schema. For example, A-B-A-B.
