Truckery Rhymes
By Jon Scieszka
Reading Level: 1st – 3rd grades
Jon Scieszka, the author of such classic picture books as The Stinky Cheese Man and The True Story of the Three Little Pigs, has now given readers his own “truck” versions of nursery rhymes. How about…
Little Dan Dumper (Little Miss Muffet)
Peter Peter Payload Eater (Peter Peter Pumpkin Eater)
Wrecker Rosie Sat on a Wall (Humpty Dumpty)
Pop Blows the Diesel (Pop Goes the Weasel)
and so many others.
Although this book is written for young children (mostly boys), fans of nursery rhymes will enjoy Scieszka’s unique spin on these classic tales. Combine the rhymes with entertaining illustrations, and this book is sure to be a favorite.
