The classic nursery rhymes we know and love – upside-down backward in gibberish and fresh out of bounds – as only Jon Scieszka could stage them.. 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.
