Mother Ghost: Nursery Rhymes for Little Monsters

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Roland Garrigue. Kolar ably transforms classic nursery rhymes, preserving their cadences and their old-fashioned feel but making them humorously Halloween-themed: "Mary Had a Little Ghost"; "Zombie Miss Muffet" (who eats the spider). Garrigue's illustrations contain moody purple-and-black backgrounds, but the cheerful, loose-lined figures--and grinning ghosts--make it clear that the seasonal scariness is all in good fun.
