Colby, Rebecca Motor Goose: Rhymes That Go! illustrated by
Jef Kaminsky. PICTURE BOOK. Feiwel and Friends (Macmillan), 2017. $16.99.
Classic nursery rhymes are re-written to star and focus on planes, trains,
automobiles and any other number of vehicles. From Barry Was a Little Sub (Mary
Had a Little Lamb) to Twinkle, Twinkle, UFO (Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star),
readers who love vehicles will find a poem written just for them.
This book is
a big hit at our house with adults and children alike. Just as nursery rhymes
are the perfect length for young readers, these poems allow you to read just a
few or go through the entire book in one sitting. The rewrites are clever and the
illustrations, filled with personified vehicles, are fun. This book can be fun
for general reading, but would also be a good resources for a poetry writing
unit.
