Mother Goose: Remixed

THE NEIGHBORHOOD MOTHER GOOSE, by Nina Crews
AR Level: 3.8 Points: .5
Interest Level: Elementary
Vocabulary Quiz Available

This collection of forty-one favorite, classic nursery rhymes is done with a fascinating twist—each nursery rhyme is set in a Brooklyn neighborhood, and the photographs are combined with computer images, giving the entire book a “Photoshop” feel. I love this book! It kind of reminds me of my CHILDCRAFT books from when I was a little girl. One of them had some of these same nursery rhymes in it, and I remember looking at it for hours. I can envision many children being utterly captivated by this book.
