(2) K-3 Illustrated by Sophie Blackall. Mother Goose's twisted sister stars in Wheeler's semi-subversive collection. The cautionary rhymes detail all manner of bad (cheating, bullying) or impolite behavior, made even funnier by a mock-formal typeface and decorously spacious pages. Blackall's ink and watercolor illustrations maintain a similar balance, with prim lines and sober colors displaying the mischief. A good first lesson in parody.
