Illustrated by
Laura Huliska-Beith.
The extended version of the classic nursery rhyme ("And so the Teacher turned him out, / but still he lingered near...") is here presented, broken up by page-turns in an accessible way. Caricaturish acrylic, gouache, and fabric collage illustrations (assembled digitally) have lots of verve; the rosy-cheeked ovine and his snub-nosed girl cavort all across the pages.
