The Real Dada Mother Goose: A Treasury of Complete Nonsense

Inspired by Dadaism's rejection of reason, Jon Scieszka and illustrator Julia Rothman team up to subvert classic nursery rhymes in every clever way possible. From 'Humpty Dumpty' to 'Mother Hubbard', cherished rhymes are refashioned into comics strips, anagrams, and mash-ups, unraveling and restitching their fabric in absurd ways. This anthology of thirty-six 'old-new' rhymes invites children to revel in reimagining and playful reconstruction. Featuring robust back matter, this irreverent take on childhood rhymes is a great gift for young readers and a rich classroom resource.
