Wait...Who Got Goosed?® Mother Goose Rhymes Revisited
by Julie Coles 
Category: Poetry, Ebooks
Praise "I received this book as a gift, and I'm so glad I did! All these poems were a hoot, and I also enjoyed those among them that contained some subtle and not-so-subtle life lessons. This evening, I read a couple to my granddaughters, ages 10 and 12, as well as to a couple of senior friends, and they got a big kick out of them, too!" - Lynette M. Smith |
ABOUT THE BOOK
Wait...Who Got Goosed?® Mother Goose Rhymes Revisited is a contemporary, remixed version of Mother Goose's memorable fables about our human foibles. As in the original rhymes, modern day characters' struggles with questionable judgment result in predictable, and sometimes messy, outcomes. Just what is it that causes us to ignore cautionary tales of old and continue the cycle of having to learn (or not learn) from our own mistakes?
Having the opportunity to rewrite these familiar lyric stories about missteps through a more humanitarian lens made the journey of writing a modern version of stories from the past especially enjoyable. The Companion Activity Book offers the same potential wordplay and enjoyment for young and young-at-heart poets alike. Readers of all ages, including those familiar with the original Mother Goose rhymes, will enjoy this new iteration of poems that add insight and poignancy to lessons of humility and kindness. Many poems highlight the potential favorability of outcomes when responded to with compassion. So often, serious topics shared through poetry and humor can make our shortcomings a bit easier to digest.
Wait...Who Got Goosed?® Mother Goose Rhymes Revisited is released under Pivot In New Directions Publishing®.
