Illustrated by
Luke Flowers.
A frustrated narrator attempts to recite a nursery rhyme amidst the "hullabalooo" wrought by Bo Peep's renegade sheep upon a village filled with Mother Goose characters. Flowers's busy illustrations reflect the chaos of the narrative and create a fractured Little-Golden-Book visual sensibility, though the intertwined stories can be difficult to track in both art and text. The traditional rhymes are appended.
