K-Gr 5 -Sierra has selected some of the funniest and most memorable schoolyard rhymes available in this appealing collection, including such old favorites as -Miss Mary Mack, Mack, Mack, - -Lady with the Alligator Purse, - and -Liar, Liar, Pants on Fire. - Kids will also howl over other offerings that may be new to this generation: -Ladies and jellybeans, hoboes and tramps, /Cross-eyed mosquitoes and bow-legged ants - and -Tarzan, Tarzan, through the air, /Tarzan lost his underwear. - The rhythms and nonsense rhymes are irresistible, compelling memorization and participation in the fun. Tried-and- true wordplays will tickle young readers, such as the one that begins -Splickety-splat, /I saw a dead rat, /and I 1 it./Say you 2 it - and eventually leads to the delightfully disgusting conclusion, -I 8 it. - Sweet's animated watercolor-and-collage illustrations fill the pages with expressive faces, thin lines of verse shaped into jump ropes and borders, and hilarious interpretive scenes from the rhymes. This is a definite winner, as it will be enormously popular with children." -Lee Bock, Glenbrook Elementary School, Pulaski, WI"

K-Gr. 3. Sierra has selected 50 traditional playground chants and rhymes for inclusion in this illustrated collection. Selections range from the familiar ("Fudge, fudge tell the judge, / Mama's got a newborn baby") to the strange ("Ladies and gentlemen, / Take my advice, / Pull down your pants / And slide on the ice") to the rude ("BURP! Pardon me for being so rude. / It wasn't me, it was my food!"). Sweet's comical, mixed-media art adds to the wackiness of the rhymes, with jump ropes commanding a prominent position, whether used by children or pickles or bears. Text is frequently incorporated into the pictures; verses are printed on ropes and on the stripes of flags. A great choice for back-to-school displays.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2005, American Library Association.)
