Mary Had a Little Lamb

32 pp. | Little/Tingley | September, 2003 | Trade ISBN 0-316-60687-1 $$15.95
(4) PS Sing-Along Stories series. Illustrated by Nadine Bernard Westcott & Nadine Bernard Westcott. In each of three books, the adapter expands the lyrics to a familiar children's song (music provided), taking it in an unexpected direction (e.g., the legendary lamb ban is rescinded at Mary's school). Not all of the rhymes are winners, but Westcott's loose, detailed watercolor and ink images succeed, and the books may inspire young readers to attempt their own irreverent revisions of the classics. [Review covers these Sing-Along Stories titles: Mary Had a Little Lamb, The Lady with the Alligator Purse, and Skip to My Lou.]
