PS
You've never seen Mother Goose like this before: in Yaccarino's world, the fiddling cat of "Hey, diddle, diddle" fame is a beatnik street musician, Jack Sprat and his wife eat at a fifties-style diner, and Mary's lamb follows her to school in a taxi. Kids will find the images illustrating the familiar rhymes refreshing and funny; appreciative adults may find them playfully subversive.
