Sing a Song of Sixpence: A Pocketful of Nursery Rhymes and Tales

Sing a Song of Sixpence: A Pocketful of Nursery Rhymes and Tales by Jane Chapman delivers familiar verse and stories from ""Jack and Jill"" to ""The Three Little Pigs."" And although less cheerful standbys unfold with the likes of the old woman who ""scolded [her children] soundly and put them to bed"" in a tenement-like shoe, the tone remains largely light-hearted, and the illustrations cartoonish and bright.
