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.
