In this irresistible book, artist and designer Barbara Klunder puts her own spin on familiar children’s favorites. Rock-a-Bye Baby laments the loss of her treetop to logging. Old Mother Hubbard must resort to a food bank. Jack and Jill discover their well water is polluted, while Mary watches her garden flourish with weeding and fertilizing. Second-hand smoke, recycling, allergies, logging, pollution, oil spills, gasoline shortages, and crooked politicians are all treated with Klunder’s typical whimsy and wit. Striking, graphic black-and-white illustrations drive the point home — what are humans doing to the planet?

clever social commentary,
By Library Goddess "Library Goddess" (San Jose, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Other Goose: Recycled Rhymes for Our Fragile Times (Hardcover)
Barbara Kundar has framed a number of pointed social commentaries in the form of Mother Goose parodies. This slim volume is poignantly amusing.
High School teachers could use this book as discussion starters or writing prompts.
