A collection of green interpretations of the traditional Mother Goose rhymes. Composed in an art style that complements the books earth friendly messages.

A collection of poems that are spin off of well known Mother Goose rhymes but the twist is they all have a lesson in being green or conservative or teaching about environmental factors. ( )

This book of rhymes was right up my alley since I am passionate about the environment and being green. The illustrations were very nice and I liked the first 2 pages that were combined to look like a scope of the earth. These poems are too clever! I especially liked "One, Two We Can Renew" and "If All the World Were Stinky". The revising of classics like "Yankee Doodle" and "This Little Piggy" were very charming. The revised "Old Mother Hubbard" made me think of Portland, with its mentioning of organic food, tofu, and cloth shopping bags. This book does not miss a beat when it comes to bringing up ALL green things, even green light bulbs are featured in "Little Jack Horner" and "There Was An Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe". I would definitely read this to my classroom! ( )

This illustrated poetry collection injects earth-consciousness into old "Mother Goose" rhymes, presenting poems such as"Mary, Mary quite contrary" who refuses to garden green and "Here we go round the neighborhood" in which "we" pick up trash, recycle cans and plant trees all around the community. The delightful illustrations are collages made out of old newspaper, paper scraps, ticket stubs, etcetera.

An eco-friendly riff on classic Mother Goose poetry! Classic Mother Goose characters such as Old Mother Hubbard and Little Jack Horner teach readers how to take better care of this Earth of ours.
