Maybe Mother Goose

PreS-Gr 1—When it's a rainy day at Mother Goose Nursery School, the teacher cheers up the children with fun presentations of nursery rhymes. The six rhymes she recites during indoor recess include "Mary Had a Little Lamb," "Baa, Baa, Black Sheep," and "Sing a Song of Sixpence." Each rhyme ends with four questions. After "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star," the teacher asks the children, "Window? Star? Wish?" and the children say, "Yes," because these words are featured in the rhyme and digital illustrations. The last question is meant to be humorous. "Space aliens?" The children scream out, "Nooooo!" but when the page is turned, they see the possibility of aliens interacting with nursery rhyme characters. Notable spreads show 16 nursery rhyme characters dressed in formal wear. The maids in "Mary Mary Quite Contrary" look like flowers, and while the children play "Ring Around the Rosie," Bo Peep and Boy Blue get married under a trellis of Mary's flowers.
