Froggie Went A-Courting

(3) K-3 Froggie sets off to marry Ms. Mouse, who lives above a cheese shop on the Upper West Side. Auntie Rat is against the match, so when a feline wedding guest eats her, the period of mourning is brief. The humor lies primarily in knowing how different this version of the folksong is from more traditional ones. Priceman's lively, colorful paintings spill off the pages and appropriately reflect the celebratory atmosphere of the rhyming text.
