Monster Goose Nursery Rhymes

By Henry Herz

0 - Default Title
Description
Mythological and fantastical creatures abound in these monstrously funny rhymes that are retellings of classic Mother Goose poems. Author Henry Herz and his young sons Josh and Harrison transform poems including "Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary," "This Little Piggy," and "Hey Diddle Diddle" into "Zombie Rotten, Quite Forgotten," "This Little Hydra," and "Hey Doblin, Doblin." The verses retain the singsong tone and catchy rhythm of the original poems but add a whimsical twist.
In worlds both real and imaginary, legends of monsters remain-mutations of the human form, each with its own personality, quirks, and special characteristics. Dwarves and witches, elves and sprites, centaurs and fauns, werewolves and zombies-these creatures need bedtime stories too! If you have a proclivity for the unnatural and the macabre, the Herz trio's ghastly rhymes are sure to slake your morbid curiosities and tickle your impish funny bone.
With bold lines and colorful movement, the illustrations create a sense of action and animation. The characters depicted are destined to become a new horde of antiheroes, for whom we all root! The authors also include a "bestiary" with information about all of the book's legendary creatures, hailing from the mythological traditions of Scotland, Germany, Italy, Persia, Haiti, and Scandinavia.
