Iza
Trapani’s new picture book, Little Miss Muffet is delightfully done and had
this family smiling the day away. The illustrations are
so enjoyable and it was such a pleasure to read.
Little
Miss Muffet
Sat
on a tuffet
Eating
her curds and whey.
Along
came a spider
Who
sat down beside her
And
frightened Miss Muffet away.
Poor,
poor little Miss Muffet! She just has to get away from that terrifying spider.
But how? The mouse sends her outside,
where she runs into a leaping frog, a cackling crow, and other creatures,
before she goes back inside again. Iza’s use of in and out, up and down, over
and under, beside and behind, makes this story come alive for little ones.
It’s
fun to follow Miss Muffet to see what will happen to her next. Her facial
expressions are so authentic that you might think she’s going to pop right out
of the story and hide behind you.
Tired
of the usual Miss Muffet escapades? Then you must read Iza Trapani’s version
that will keep you giggling all day long. The little ones in your life will ask
you to read it over and over again!
Iza has bookmarks and 'super fun to do' activity sheets to download here.
Visit Iza's website anytime. She will welcome you with open arms.
Please
come back Friday September 20th for a special interview with Iza and
enter to win her beautiful rendition of Little Miss Muffet for yourself.
Sounds like a fun spin on Little Miss Muffet. And I bet it will be popular with kids since the rhyme is. Congrats to Iza.
