K-3Jon Scieszka's Trucktown series.
Illustrated by
David Shannon
&
Loren Long.
Also illustrated by David Gordon. "Swing around with Rosie, / Swing around with Rosie. / Smashes! Bashes! / It all falls down." Twenty-two classic children's rhymes are loudly retold to feature Rosie, Monster Max, Big Rig, and other characters from Scieszka's Trucktown series. While the digital illustrations, created by many cooks, contain lots of visual ingredients, they may only be appetizing to confirmed fans.
