The Real Dada Mother Goose : a treasury of complete nonsense / Jon Scieszka, Julia Rothman. Somerville : Candlewick Press, 2022. pages cm. txt rdacontent n rdamedia nc rdacarrier "Mother knows best, but sometimes a little nonsense wins the day. Inspired by Dadaism's rejection of reason and rational thinking, and in cahoots with Blanche Fisher Wright's The Real Mother Goose, this anthology of absurdity unravels the fabric of classic nursery rhymes and stitches them back together (or not quite together) in every clever way possible. One by one, cherished nursery rhymes-from "Humpty Dumpty" to "Hickory Dickory Dock", "Jack Be Nimble" to "Mother Hubbard"-fall prey to sly subversion as master of fracture Jon Scieszka and acclaimed illustrator Julie Rothman refashion them into comics strips, errant book reports, anagrams, and manic mash-ups. Playfully reconstructed, the thirty-six old-new rhymes invite further baloney, bringing kids in on the joke and inviting them to revel in reimagining. Featuring a robust backmatter, this irreverent take on the rhymes of childhood is a a great gift for child readers and a rich classroom resource across grade levels, and a love song to a living language"-- Provided by publisher.
