“Today was like any other day. The dish ran away with the spoon.”

Little Boy Blue is all grown up and a detective trying to find Little Miss Muffet in this alternative view of Mother Goose Nursery Rhymes. Younger readers will like the story line while older readers may see the humor in having Mother Goose nursery rhyme characters in different settings. Colorful illustrations from Tedd Arnold bring the characters to life. Twenty-four nursery rhymes are featured and the author and illustrator challenge readers to locate them all as listed on the verso.
