Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

From non-sense to lessons learned, these forty five rhymes include the absolutely well known ("Itsy Bitsy Spider") and the slightly familiar, ("Hickety, Pickety, My Black Hen"). The truly fantastic pictures speak more than one thousands words in details as artist Scott Gustafson riffs in paint on themes present and imagined in each verse. Nursery rhymes are classic and so are some of artist's interpretations but other paintings are surprises, like an anthropomorphic baking bear, a pelican sea captain and Peter Piper as a pug on two legs. Welcome to a world where "There was a crooked man" is not about a hunched-back elder but rather a mad-cap, double-jointed dandy who might be "crooked" in more ways than one. Jack (Be Nimble) is a leaping cricket and Yankee Doodle a funloving mouse on a full-sized horse.

Biografía del autor:

Scott Gustafson's first artistic inspirations were Disney and Warner Brothers cartoons. He pursued animation at the Chicago Academy of Fine Arts and Columbia College, but the discovery of book illustrations by N. C. Wyeth, Arthur Rackham, and Norman Rockwell galvanized him. His previous books include The Night Before Christmas, The Nutcracker, and Peter Pan. With Greenwich Workshop Press, he has created two original titles, Alphabet Soup and Animal Orchestra, as well as Classic Fairy Tales and Classic Bedtime Stories.
