SUMMARY

“The familiar nursery rhyme featuring the Queen of Hearts and her stolen tarts gets new, uproarious life in this clever version. After the knave does the dirty deed, the Queen hot foots it after those tarts. Along the way, she meets lots of other Mother Goose folk who, in catchy rhyme, led the queen in search for the goodies.”

Reviews

  • "A spirited, upbeat variation of the traditional nursery rhyme. A true gem."

    - School Library Journal, starred

  • "Bright colors pick out the scampering figures which are sketched with humor and bubbling vitality and seem to leap from one page to the next. Youngsters will enjoy spotting (favorite nursery characters) and confirming their identities in the rhymed text."
