A More Humane Mother Goose is a retelling of some well-known Mother Goose nursery rhymes, which replaces violence and cruelty with kindness and compassion towards both animals and other people, while retaining the rhythms and playful spirit of the original Mother Goose rhymes. This sweet preschool picture book (great for ages 2 to 8) includes gentler versions of Mother Goose favorites such as Little Miss Muffet, Jack Sprat, Jack and Jill, The Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe, Sing a Song of Sixpence, Humpty-Dumpty, Fee-Fi-Fo-Fum, This Little Piggie, and many more. This fully illustrated Mother Goose book also includes a bonus draw and tell story, where some of the humane Mother Goose nursery rhymes are repeated in the form of a drawing story, a lively and time-honored storytelling technique which is very easy to use and requires no special materials or experience. Clear instructions and a traceable drawing are included, as well, to help novices use the draw and tell story with ease. In the draw and tell story, as the Mother Goose rhymes are retold, certain elements are sketched onto a single sheet of paper, while children look on. These simple elements build up on the drawing until, by the time the story ends, a composite picture of Mother Goose has emerged, much to the children's delight. This form of draw and tell storytelling is great for parents, teachers, babysitters and children's librarians. Author Barbara Freedman-De Vito has been creating and using draw and tell stories for many years in her work as a children's librarian, freelance storyteller, teacher, and workshop leader. You can find her many draw and tell story collections under the series title of Draw Me a Story, plus find more of her original picture books, all available on Amazon. Please do an AMAZON SEARCH for " Barbara Freedman-De Vito " to find all of Barbara's collections of Draw and Tell stories, plus her other books for children.
